Under LC 3208, which statement is accurate about replacement of eyeglasses and hearing aids?

• A. Eyeglasses will not be replaced if not incident to an injury causing disability
• B. Hearing aids will not be replaced if not incident to an injury causing disability
• C. Eyeglasses and hearing aids will not be replaced if not incident to an injury causing disability
• D. All of the above

Answer: (C)

Under LC 3208, replacement of eyeglasses and hearing aids is allowed only when the injury from work has caused a disability that requires the device. If there is no disability from the injury, there is no entitlement to replace those devices. So the accurate statement is that eyeglasses and hearing aids will not be replaced unless the replacement is incident to an injury-causing disability. This matches the rule that coverage for these devices is tied to the existence of a disability from the work injury. The other options would imply replacing only one device or replacing all devices regardless of disability, which isn’t consistent with the provision.
