Vocal hygiene and hearing loss for the at-risk and average college student : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

Voice and hearing problems are two of the most common complaints of college students visiting the Ball State University Speech-Language Clinic and the Audiology Clinic. However the student population as a whole lacks general knowledge on the maintenance of vocal hygiene and hearing protection. In order to address these issues and educate the college student population, we created education materials to be used for the general population and those identified as being at-risk for voice and hearing problems.
