Workers who sustain damage to their hearing as a result of their jobs may be entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits. An overhaul of the worker's compensation system took place when the Return to Work act became operational on 1 July, 2015. Workers who have sustained hearing loss connected to job tasks must understand the rules under the current workers' compensation system so they can determine what benefits they are eligible for and take advantage of the opportunity created under the law to obtain monetary payment for permanent impairment.
