National Protect Your Hearing Month: Occupational Hearing Loss Prevention and New York Workers’ Compensation Benefits
Is the noise at your job affecting your hearing?
If you’ve spent years working around loud machinery, power tools, heavy equipment or other noisy conditions, it’s a question worth asking.
Why it Matters: Occupational hearing loss often develops gradually. Workers may not recognize the damage until years after it begins. By then, the hearing loss may be permanent.
Protect Your Hearing, Know Your Rights: October is National Protect Your Hearing Month, an opportunity to raise awareness about workplace noise and how workers can protect their hearing.
Benefits You’re Entitled To: For workers who have already suffered hearing damage, there’s another important message: New York State Workers’ Compensation may provide medical treatment, hearing aids, and financial compensation for qualifying work-related hearing loss.
What You’ll Learn: This article explains how to:
- Recognize the warning signs of occupational hearing loss.
- Protect your hearing and understand employers’ responsibilities for workplace noise safety.
- Understand your workers’ compensation benefits, including medical treatment, hearing aids, and financial compensation for qualifying hearing loss.
- Pursue a workers’ compensation claim by documenting workplace noise exposure, understanding filing deadlines, and taking the necessary steps to seek benefits.
