The motivation behind this investigation was to apply an established theory to better understand three potential antecedents to intentions toward wearing hearing protection among coal miners.
thousand audiograms indicate the number of miners with hearing impairments (defined as an average hearing threshold level of 25 dB or greater for the frequencies 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz) increased with age until age 50, at which time 49% of the metal/nonmetal and 90% of the coal miners had a hearing impairment [NIOSH, 1996b …

Among coal miners, more than 90% of the population reports a hearing deficit by age 55. In this formative evaluation, focus groups were conducted with coal miners in Appalachia to ascertain whether miners perceive hearing loss as a major health risk and if so, what would motivate the consistent wearing of hearing protection devices (HPDs).
Introduction: This longitudinal field study was designed to encourage Appalachian coal miners in West ia and Pennsylvania to engage in hearing-protection behaviors. Method: Participants were mailed postcards that featured either a positive, negative, or neutral message on the outside of the postcard and a message encouraging hearing …

Results: Responses from 307 coal miners revealed that the positive or neutral messages generated significantly more self-reported hearing protection behaviors than the negative message. Identical results were obtained in a delayed posttest assessment of miners' self-reported hearing protection behaviors.
NIHL is being addressed in all areas of the mining industry, including both surface and underground for all commodities. Initially, the noise control efforts concentrated on underground coal mine noise and produced solutions for continuous mining machines, roof bolting machines, and the vibrating screens used in preparation plants.
Responses from 307 coal miners revealed that the positive or neutral messages generated significantly more self-reported hearing protection behaviors than the negative message. Identical results were obtained in a delayed posttest assessment of miners' self-reported hearing protection behaviors.
While the unsafe behavior (UB) of miners has always been regarded as the most notable cause of frequent coal mine accidents (Wang et al., 2019), the proportion of mechanical equipment used in coal mines has increased, resulting in the formation of complex and variable problems related to the mixed noise underground mining work …
