There are several ways of providing hearing conservation training, ' i.e. home-made or commercial video presentations, pamphlets, group lecture, etc. For this presentation I will poll several audiologists throughout the military for their methods of providing this training, discuss the results and provide input on which methods are most effective. I will also poll noise-exposed soldiers to find out which method of training they prefer and which method is most memorable. I will then incorporate the results from both polls and discuss the most effective method for providing hearing conservation training.
