Can an employee apply for and receive workers compensation benefits for hearing loss?
Yes. If noise exposure in the workplace has resulted in permanent hearing loss or has aggravated a preexisting hearing condition, the Tennessee workers compensation statute may provide for compensation to the worker for the permanent injury as well as medical treatment expenses such as hearing aids.
