I heard that I can use workers' compensation for hearing loss. I was told by a doctor that I have sudden deafness due to stress at work. Can I get workers' compensation for sudden deafness caused by stress at work?
If it is found to be caused by stress in the workplace, it is covered by workers' compensation.
It is usually not covered by workers' compensation unless it is proven that the hearing loss was caused by a work-related accident. Other acupuncture treatments are also not covered by health insurance. However, if you miss work due to illness, the sickness benefit system is available. This insurance pays for those who are unable to work due to illness.
