House Ear Institute plans to use the grant for education and outreach of its Sound Partners teen hearing conservation initiative – It’s How You Listen that Counts.
Recognizing teenagers are at increasingly high risk for hearing damage from noise, the institute is working to educate teens about noise induced hearing loss. The message is focused on prevention.
Teenagers are known to be a challenging audience to reach concerning health issues. The institute was the first organization to make inroads with teens in the area of hearing conservation.
