The perception and attitude of hearing conservation programs in military, according to graduate level audiology students, will be examined. Graduate level audiology students will be sent a survey that investigates their perception of the hearing conservation program effectiveness, if they think it works and if the military is adequate in protecting the hearing of its members. This survey will also look at the general knowledge and perceptions that our future audiologists hold regarding hearing conservation in general. Are students gaining enough knowledge of hearing conservation in school? Do they have enough information to form an opinion regarding hearing conservation in general and in regards to our very noisy military world? The results of this survey will then be used to contrast actual data regarding hearing conservation within the military.
