Slide60According to a recent
study, most members of this worker group say they are planning to use hearing protectors “someday.”20

Slide62According to a study of farmers, this most frequently happens In the shop,As a tractor bystander, or
As a tractor operator30

training, orsupervision.40
Slide65Who are farmers?
40
Slide6650
Besides wearing hearing protection, farmers can do this by
Keeping equipment well-lubricated, properly adjusted, and maintained to block noise,
Limit time spent in noisy areas, and
Keep as distant from noisy equipment as possible.
Slide67What are things farmers can do to reduce noise exposure?
50
Slide68FINAL
Slide69In a recent study of Midwestern farmers, these includedNot enough protectors available to use several in one day, Supply of protectors not conveniently located, and
Not having ear muffs of one’s own.
Slide70What are the availability factors that influence farmers’ use of hearing protectors?

Slide72Meet JoleneJolene is a system for measuring the sound levels of personal stereo systems. She is part of the Dangerous Decibels education and research projects. Jolene was constructed using a used fashion mannequin and a sound level meter wired to a silicon ear. Jolene makes appearances at schools and universities, scientific meetings, health fairs, and many other public events. She always attracts a crowd and is helpful for promoting noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus prevention. Jolene has also been used as a research tool to study the beliefs and listening practices regarding personal stereo systems.
