Accepted claim is the gate
Like other provinces, workers' comp support for hearing aids usually depends on whether the hearing loss is accepted as work-related.
Saskatchewan WCB publishes hearing service fee schedules for funded services on accepted claims.
Services that may be funded (examples)
- Audiological assessment
- Hearing instruments (hearing aids)
- Fitting and dispensing
- Batteries/repairs and ongoing service visits (rules apply)
Your best prep
- Collect any historical audiograms (especially workplace hearing tests).
- Write down your job history with years and main noise sources.
- Ask if the clinic is familiar with WCB billing/documentation for hearing loss claims.
