Robert Schebaum appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's denial of permanent total disability benefits from the Second Injury Fund. Schebaum, who had preexisting hearing loss and two work-related knee injuries, argued that his hearing loss should qualify as a preexisting disability or at least be considered in determining his employability. The appellate court affirmed the Commission's decision, holding that Schebaum's hearing loss did not qualify as a preexisting disability under the statute because it did not directly and significantly aggravate or accelerate his subsequent work-related injury. The court further clarified that non-qualifying disabilities cannot be considered when determining permanent total disability for Fund liability.
