FREE HEARING CHECK Before it's too late We know there may be a few of you who might have a slight hearing problem but aren't aware of it. Perhaps you know someone who fits this category. This is their chance to get a quick 15 minute hearing check. If all is well, no harm done! If we do pick up a noise induced loss it will be a good idea to lodge your ACC claim now rather than later. Under ACC the amount of funding you receive can decline the older you get. Below is a chart showing different noise levels. If you have ticked yes to one or more of these categories then you may well fit the criteria for a noise induced hearing loss.
