This study developed a computer-based hearing test and training program for operating engineers. Feedback showed high satisfaction and willingness to recommend, supporting its use for health promotion.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Audiology
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Hearing loss is a significant occupational hazard for operating engineers.
  • Traditional audiometric testing and intervention programs can be resource-intensive.
  • Integrating technology offers potential for scalable and engaging health solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computer-based audiometric testing and tailored intervention program.
  • To assess the feasibility and user acceptance of this innovative program.
  • To explore the use of multimedia computer technology in occupational hearing health.

Main Methods:

  • A computer-based audiometric testing and tailored intervention program was developed.
  • The program was implemented with 397 operating engineers at a union training center.
