WorkCover Victoria Hearing Loss Claims.
Hear In is an approved hearing services provider for WorkCover Victoria (WorkSafe Victoria) claims.
If you currently work, or have previously worked, in a noise environment and believe your hearing loss was caused by workplace noise, you may be eligible for fully funded hearing assessments, hearing aids, and ongoing audiology care through WorkCover.
Noise-induced hearing loss (sometimes referred to as industrial deafness) is one of the most common workplace injuries in Victoria; many people don’t realise they can still make a claim years after exposure.
What is a WorkCover Hearing Loss Claim?
A WorkCover hearing loss claim applies when your hearing loss has been caused or significantly contributed to by occupational noise exposure.
Common high-risk industries include:
- Manufacturing and factories
- Construction and trades
- Mining and quarrying
- Transport and logistics
- Defence and emergency services
- Agriculture and farming
Even if hearing loss developed gradually over many years, you may still be eligible for a claim.
What Does WorkCover Victoria Fund for Hearing Loss?
If your WorkCover hearing loss claim is accepted, funding may include:
- Comprehensive diagnostic hearing assessments
- WorkCover-funded hearing aids (where clinically appropriate)
- Professional hearing aid fitting and follow-up
- Ongoing maintenance, servicing, and support
- Replacement hearing aids when clinically required
All services are provided by qualified audiologists, with care tailored to your hearing loss, work history, and communication needs.
Who Is Eligible to Make a WorkCover Hearing Loss Claim?
You may be eligible if:
- You currently work, or previously worked, in a noisy workplace
- Your hearing loss is consistent with noise-induced hearing loss
- The exposure occurred during employment in Victoria
Claims are typically lodged through your last place of noisy employment, via the employer’s WorkSafe insurance agent.
If you have already made a successful WorkCover claim for hearing loss, your ongoing hearing services will continue to be funded by the relevant WorkSafe insurer.

- Perform a WorkCover compliant hearing assessment
- Determine whether your hearing loss pattern is consistent with workplace noise exposure
