Course Description:
Recorded at AIHce EXP 2021

The HearWell program was developed using the Total Worker Health® approach of the Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace (CPH-NEW).

Worksites were randomized to receive the HearWell training video and noise scheme or an industry standard video.

The worker designed HearWell training improved hearing climate and some, but not all hearing and HPD attitudes.
