Article 3-A - (49-AA - 49-HH) OCCUPATIONAL LOSS OF HEARING

NY Work Comp L § 49-AA (2012) What's This?
 
    § 49-aa. Declaration of purpose. The compensability of claims for loss
  of  hearing  resulting  from  exposure to industrial noise has created a
  problem in this state  which  is  a  matter  of  grave  concern  to  the
  legislature.  The  legislature,  therefore,  finds and declares that the
  public interest can best be served by providing  that  compensation  for
  occupational  loss  of  hearing  shall  be paid only as provided in this
  article and subject to the conditions and  limitations  hereinafter  set
  forth.
