The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD),
in partnership with the National Institute of Occupational Safety
and Health (NIOSH), are joined by a coalition of national, regional,
and local organizations, voluntaries, and state and local government
agencies in a national
campaign to prevent noise-induced hearing loss called WISE EARS!®
The objectives of the coalition are to:
- Increase awareness about noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) among all audiences, e.g., workers, employees, health professionals, teachers, parents, children, entertainment industry, unions, industry, state and local government workers, and the general public.
- Motivate all audiences to take action against NIHL by understanding the problem and its solutions, e.g., understanding that everyone is at risk for NIHL; expanding the availability of hearing protection devices; advocating changes in the workplace; developing hearing loss prevention programs.
