Worked in a noisy environment? You may be eligible for workers compensation hearing support and hearing aid solutions.
Welfast Hearing provides professional hearing assessments, audiological advice and personalised hearing solutions for workplace-related hearing loss across the Central Coast and Lake Macquarie.
Work-related hearing loss can develop after repeated or prolonged exposure to excessive workplace noise. It may also be called noise-induced hearing loss, occupational hearing loss or industrial deafness.
Because it often develops gradually, the changes may not be obvious at first. A professional hearing assessment can help identify the type and degree of hearing loss.
Hearing loss caused by employment may be covered under the NSW workers compensation system, depending on your individual circumstances.
An insurer may consider an audiogram, a hearing needs assessment, a clinical recommendation and a quote from an approved provider. Eligibility and approval are assessed individually.
Workplace hearing loss may be associated with long-term or repeated exposure to:
Your audiologist will consider your hearing test results and occupational history, including the jobs you have held, how long you worked in noisy environments, the machinery or equipment involved, the hearing protection used, communication difficulties and tinnitus.
This information helps build a clearer picture of your hearing and the appropriate next step.
An audiogram provides objective information about your hearing. Clinical information may help an insurer determine whether hearing services are reasonably necessary.
An ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist assessment may also be required in some circumstances. Your hearing test is an important first step in establishing your current hearing condition.
Workers compensation may cover hearing aids when the hearing loss is employment-related, the aids are considered reasonably necessary and the insurer approves the request.
Approval depends on your individual claim and supporting clinical information.
Clear, individual advice based on your hearing, communication needs and circumstances.
Professional testing, understandable results and practical recommendations for your next step.
Hearing-aid fitting, programming, adjustments, troubleshooting and aftercare.
