Background:

Hearing loss is a significant public health concern.
Computer-based interventions offer scalable solutions for hearing health education.
User-centered design is crucial for effective health technology adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify key features contributing to the effectiveness, usability, and enjoyment of a computerized hearing health education program.
To gather user feedback on the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research Hearing Loss Prevention Program (NCRAR-HLPP).

Main Methods:

A formative evaluation was conducted with Veterans.
Participants completed pre- and post-intervention questionnaires assessing knowledge and attitudes.
Semi-structured interviews were used to collect qualitative feedback on the NCRAR-HLPP.

Main Results:

Participants reported a positive user experience with the NCRAR-HLPP.
Key positive features included ease of use, multimedia elements, personal relevance, and emotional engagement.
Significant improvements in knowledge and attitude scores were observed post-intervention.

Conclusions:

The formative evaluation highlighted the importance of user preferences in designing effective hearing health interventions.
Future iterations of the NCRAR-HLPP will be refined based on user feedback and suggestions for improved instructions.
