No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this study is to determine whether daily assessment and feedback of workers' noise exposures leads to more effective use of hearing protection and prevention of noise-induced hearing loss.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

QuietDose Device

The intervention will test the effectiveness of a noise exposure dosimeter, the QuietDose - that measures a worker's daily noise "dose", as well as peak noise exposure, inside of the worker's hearing protectors. Workers and the study coordinator receive daily feedback about noise exposures (if the device was used outside of the study it would be safety personnel that received the feedback outside of the workers themselves). Such feedback will allow steps to be taken to minimize such exposures, such as behavioral adjustments and improved awarenessThe goal of this study is to determine whether daily assessment and feedback of workers' noise exposures leads to more effective use of hearing protection and prevention of noise-induced hearing loss.
