ELIGIBILITY FOR COMPENSATION
You may be entitled to compensation for workplace hearing loss
Hearing loss caused by workplace noise exposure is recognised under the NSW workers compensation system.
Many people who worked in noisy industries developed hearing loss over time without realising they might be eligible for compensation. If your hearing has been affected by years of workplace noise, you may be eligible for:
Workers compensation payments
Hearing aids or treatment support
Ongoing hearing care
A professional hearing assessment is the first step in determining whether you may qualify.
You do not need to be currently working in the noisy role, and your employer is not personally out of pocket for approved claims.
Industries where noise-related hearing loss commonly occurs
Industrial hearing loss is often associated with occupations where workers are regularly exposed to loud machinery or equipment.
Common industries include:
Construction and building trades
Manufacturing and factory work
Mechanical and automotive trades
Transport and logistics
Aviation and airport ground operations
Hospitality venues with prolonged loud noise exposure
Emergency services and heavy equipment operators
Commercial kitchens
Signs your hearing loss may be related to workplace noise
Noise-induced hearing loss often develops gradually. Many people first notice:
Difficulty hearing conversations in noisy environments
Frequently asking people to repeat themselves
Needing the television louder than others prefer
Ringing or buzzing in the ears (tinnitus)
Even if the exposure occurred many years ago, you may still be eligible to pursue workers compensation claim.
