Unless the employer controverts its liability to pay compensation
under this Act, the employer or insurance carrier shall pay
periodically, promptly and directly to the person entitled thereto
benefits prescribed by the Act. For this purpose, where the employer
furnishes to an employee a copy of an audiogram with a report thereon,
which indicates the employee has sustained a hearing loss causally
related to factors of that employment, the employer or insurance carrier
shall pay appropriate compensation or at that time controvert the
liability to pay compensation under this Act.
