Frequently Asked Questions

What is considered industrial deafness?

Industrial deafness (also known as occupational or noise-induced hearing loss) occurs when prolonged exposure to loud noise at work damages your hearing, often gradually over years. It’s a common workplace injury in industries like construction and manufacturing

You may be eligible if your hearing loss relates to repeated occupational noise exposure—even if you’ve retired or your former employer is no longer in business. Claims can generally be lodged up to three years from the time you become aware your hearing loss is work-related

Claims typically begin with a 45–60 minute advanced hearing test, including medical history, audiometry (hearing thresholds), and evaluation of noise exposure at work. An ENT or audiologist report establishes the extent and cause of hearing loss

No GP referral is necessary—just bring your hearing history. Many providers (including legal firms) offer free initial hearing tests and claim advice, frequently operating on a “no-win, no-fee” basis

Compensation may include:

  • Hearing aids and related services
  • Weekly income support (if work absence is required)
  • Permanent impairment lump sums based on assessed hearing loss (e.g. 20.5% binaural threshold for NSW)
  • Additional common-law damages if employer negligence is proven

Payouts vary by state and degree of impairment. For example, Victorian payments may range ~$700–2,100 per 1% hearing loss, while NSW thresholds for lump sum begin at 20.5% binaural loss (6% for emergency services)

Most claims take 6–18 months to resolve. Quicker resolution is possible if the medical evidence is clear, though disputes or insurer reviews can extend timelines .

Legal firms often work on a contingency basis—no upfront costs, and fees are only charged if compensation is awarded. In some states like NSW, legal fees may be paid by the insurer upon success

If an insurer contests your claim, legal assistance can guide you through further medical assessments and dispute resolution via tribunals like in NSW. Only about 10% of claims get disputed

Once accepted, you gain entitlements such as hearing aids (often replaced every 5 years), compensation payments, and ongoing audiological support. Some states guarantee lifetime replacement and support
