Subject: Official Information request - Procedure for submitting claim for tinnitus caused by exposure to loud noise

[You don't often get email from [FOI #29208 email]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,

1. What is the procedure for submitting a claim to ACC for tinnitus caused by exposure to loud noise?

2. When submitting a claim for tinnitus caused by exposure to loud noise, is it necessary to initially submit a claim for hearing loss?

3. if the answer to question 2 is yes, is this so even if there is no evidence of hearing loss occurring as a result of the exposure to loud noise?

4. if the answer to question 2 is yes, is this so even if there is evidence that no hearing loss has occurred as a result of the exposure to loud noise?

Yours faithfully,

Peter Russell
