Hearing conservation. Community outreach program for high school students.
1. A community service project for a local constituency of the AAOHN involved teaching hearing conservation classes in junior high school shop classes. 2. Pre-test/post-test comparisons showed that students benefited from the 1 hour class, including indications they planned to use hearing protection devices in the presence of loud noise. 3. Occupational health nurses' expertise in the area of hearing conservation can enhance work-school partnerships that strengthen communities.
