Abstract

Prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) among children is increasing. Experts have recommended implementation of hearing conservation education programs in schools. Despite these recommendations made over the past three decades, basic hearing conservation information that could prevent countless cases of NIHL remains absent from most school curricula. This paper reviews existing hearing conservation education programs and materials designed for children or that could be adapted for classroom use. This information will be useful as a resource for educators and school administrators and should encourage further development, implementation, and dissemination of hearing conservation curricula. The overall, and admittedly ambitious, goal of this review is to facilitate implementation of hearing conservation curricula into all US schools on a continuing basis. Ultimately, implementation of such programs should reduce the prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss among children and adults.
儿童听力保护教育方案综述。
儿童中噪声性听力损失(NIHL)的发病率正在上升。专家建议在学校实施听力保护教育项目。尽管在过去的三十年中提出了这些建议,但大多数学校课程中仍然缺乏可以预防无数NIHL病例的基本听力保护信息。本文综述了现有的听力保护教育项目和为儿童设计或适合课堂使用的材料。这些信息将成为教育工作者和学校管理者的有用资源,并应鼓励进一步开发、实施和传播听力保护课程。这项审查的总体目标是促进所有美国学校在持续的基础上实施听力保护课程。最终,这些方案的实施将减少儿童和成人中噪音引起的听力损失的流行。
