HPD Fit Testing: Results from the U.S. National Rapid Surveys System Gong, Wei (Primary Presenter), Themann, Christa (Co-Presenter) "To assess the knowledge of HPD fit testing among the U.S population, questions were included in a national online panel survey (National Center for Health Statistics Rapid Surveys System) conducted between October 12 and November 20, 2023. The survey collected self-reported data on adult’s use of HPDs, awareness of fit testing, and perceptions about the importance of HPD fit testing. The survey results were analyzed both overall and in relation to gender, age, education, race/ethnicity, and experience with using hearing protection. The results of the survey provide valuable insights which can inform the implementation of HPD fit testing in hearing loss prevention programs.
