Understanding Behavioural Drivers for Hearing Health Promotion in Noisy Workplaces

Project overview

Hearing loss due to workplace noise is a significant and preventable health issue. Despite regulations like the UK's Noise at Work Regulations (2005), the responsibility for using hearing protection largely falls on the workers themselves. Evidence shows that many do not fully understand the risks of noise-induced hearing loss, even when protective measures are available, and they do not engage in hearing protective behaviour. This underscores the need to understand the behavioural drivers influencing hearing protection, which is crucial for developing targeted public health interventions. This project aims to explore the behavioural drivers affecting hearing protection in noisy workplaces. The research will apply behaviour change theory to address gaps in the current understanding of hearing protection behaviours and inform public health interventions.
