It may occur as a result of exposure to loud noises, from heavy machinery at a construction site to the siren on a fire truck. It may also occur as a result of physical trauma, such as a blow to the head or ear or even from a strong blast of air into the ear.<\/p>\n The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have specific standards set forth regarding exposure to loud noises in the workplace. NIOSH noise standards are set at 85 decibels for an 8-hour period. OSHA\u2019s permissible noise limit is 90 decibels for an 8-hour period. As the level of decibels increase, the length of exposure decreases. Employers are required to take proper measures to protect employees when workplace noises exceed these levels.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In New York, a worker who is suffering from occupational hearing loss faces a three-month waiting period before he or she may file a claim. This waiting period begins on the date that the worker leaves employment or is removed from the environment where he or she was exposed to loud noises. It may also begin on the date that the worker is provided with sufficient protective devices to prevent further hearing loss. The last day of this three-month period is considered the day that the worker\u2019s disablement begins.<\/p>\n Hearing loss coverage under the New York State Workers\u2019 Compensation system may include medical care and cash benefits as well as a Schedule Loss of Use award for permanent hearing loss. Cash benefits will vary depending on the extent and duration of disability, to a maximum of 2\/3 of the workers\u2019 average weekly wage for life.<\/p>\nC\u00f3mo ocurre la p\u00e9rdida auditiva relacionada con el trabajo<\/h3>\n
