A Hearing Conservation Program for Wisconsin Youth Working in Agriculture.
Knobloch, Mary Jo; Broste, Steven K.
Journal of School Health, v68 n8 p313-18 Oct 1998
Examined the effects of a multicomponent, four-year hearing-conservation program for farm youth. Researchers conducted pre- and postintervention hearing tests in control and intervention students. Surveys examined family hearing loss, farm work, noise exposure, and hearing-protection device (HPD) utilization. Significantly more intervention students than control students used HPDs. Influential program components included HPD distribution and yearly hearing tests. (SM)
