Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The specific aim of this research is to evaluate the performance, effectiveness, and long-term training benefits of a formal hearing protection fit testing program. This study may provide preliminary evidence on the benefits of direct education/training combined with a formal hearing protection device (HPD) fit testing on HPD fittings on United States Air Force (USAF) employees. Currently, Public Health provides informal, subjective training to employees; this practice may be altered by the results of this study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Software intervention and education

This group will receive software intervention and education before and after receiving one-on-one education, thus showing if benefit or effect occurs simply due to having the software input before receiving education.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Software intervention and education

Intervention Type OTHER

Personal attenuation rating measurements will be taken before and after educating the patient using software program

Education only

This group will not receive software intervention prior to and after one-on-one education, only afterwards.
