Is loss of hearing in one or both ears of an employee compensable?

Permanent disability is defined as the inability of a worker to perform his job for more than 120 days (or 240 days, as the case may be), regardless of whether or not he loses the use of any part of his body. Total disability, meanwhile, means the disablement of an employee to earn wages in the same kind of work of similar nature that he was trained for, or accustomed to perform, or any kind of work which a person of his mentality and attainments could do. (Juan Esplago vs. Naess Shipping Philippines, Inc., G.R. No. 238652, June 21, 2021)
