目前，有超过445，000名退伍军人因与兵役有关的听力损失而获得赔偿，395，000人因与服役有关的耳鸣而获得赔偿。除了赔偿金，与服务相关的听力障碍还使美国退伍军人事务部在全国220个设施中提供助听器，助听器相关服务和临床服务方面付出了代价。必须解决军事人员和退伍军人的听力保护问题。在本文中，我们描述了一个多媒体听力损失预防计划的原理和发展，旨在防止与社会，娱乐和非军事职业噪声暴露相关的退伍军人听力损失的进展。该计划是根据Rosenstock（1966）的健康信念模型和Pender等人（2002）的健康促进模型中概述的原则制定的。
Currently, there are more than 445,000 veterans receiving compensation for hearing loss associated with military service, and 395,000 receiving compensation for service-related tinnitus. In addition to compensation payments, service-related hearing disorders cost the US Department of Veterans Affairs in terms of provision of hearing aids, hearing aid-related services, and clinical services at its 220 facilities nationwide. It is imperative that hearing conservation among military personnel and veterans be addressed. In this paper, we describe the rationale for and the development of a multimedia Hearing Loss Prevention Program aimed at preventing the progression of hearing loss among veterans associated with social, recreational, and nonmilitary occupational noise exposure. The program was developed based on the principles outlined in the Health Belief Model of Rosenstock (1966) and the Health Promotion Model of Pender et al. (2002).
