Hearing Loss Compensation in South Australia

Understanding Industrial Hearing Loss and How We Can Assist You

Hearing Loss Compensation in South Australia

Industrial hearing loss affects many workers in South Australia who have been exposed to high levels of noise in their workplaces over the years. At IHS (Industrial Hearing Services), we specialise in helping individuals understand their hearing health and explore potential support options available due to industrial noise exposure.

Who Might Be Eligible for Compensation?

If you’ve worked in a loud environment and noticed diminished hearing, you may be eligible for compensation. Whilst the specific criteria can vary, our team at IHS is here to help you understand the basics.

During our initial consultation, we’ll ask a few questions to assess your situation, such as:

  • Your work history and the types of environments you’ve worked in.
  • The duration of your exposure to high noise levels in these environments.
  • Whether you have been an employee or a subcontractor in these noisy settings.

These questions help us gauge the potential impact of your work environment on your hearing.

Our Simple Process

At IHS, we aim to make the process straightforward and supportive for you.
Here’s what to expect when you reach out to us:

Initial Consultation

We start with a friendly, no-obligation conversation to learn about your work history and any challenges you’re experiencing with your hearing. This helps us understand your background and needs. Best of all, the consultation and hearing assessment is free, ensuring you can explore your options without any cost or commitment.

Referral for Hearing Assessment

If eligible we’ll refer you to an audiologist for a comprehensive hearing assessment to determine the extent of your hearing loss and how it may relate to your work environment.
