Skills covered in this course
Description
Hearing Conservation is an awareness level course focused on protecting what you can't get back. You will learn how noise damages your hearing, how to recognize hazardous noise levels, and how to choose and use hearing protection correctly. You will also explore your rights and responsibilities, the real-world impacts of hearing loss, and the steps you can take starting today. Throughout the course, you will be challenged to think about how your awareness, your mindset, and your willingness to speak up play a direct role in keeping your hearing safe.
Drawn from OSHA Standards 1910.95, 1926.52, 1926.101, and industry best practices.
An interactive simulation is included. Learners are placed in a noisy workplace environment where they use a sound meter to observe changing noise levels and make decisions about hearing protection. As they move through the space, learners practice recognizing warning signs of hazardous noise and choosing safer actions as exposure levels increase.
You can access the simulation using a screen reader, computer, mobile device, or a Quest VR headset.

Frequently Asked Questions
Construction noise sits under 1926.52 and .101, which set the exposure limits and the protection this course works from.
It explains why a Hearing Conservation Program matters, how occupational noise causes hearing loss, and what steps reduce that risk on the job.
An interactive simulation has learners read a sound meter and make protection decisions based on those readings, tying noise levels to real choices.
Learners practice how to properly insert foam earplugs, a specific skill the course calls out alongside the broader hearing conservation concepts.
Beyond insertion technique, the course covers the effects of hearing loss itself and how to judge what level of protection a given work environment needs.
