Let us know what you are up to!

Dangerous Decibels® is always being asked “How many youth have received the Dangerous Decibels interactive program?” We can only approximate the answer to this question if you help us out by completing this form each time you deliver the program in your communities. The form is very brief, but if you submit them regularly, we’ll have much better numbers to help us respond to these inquiries and support future research and grant funding.

Your suggestions

There are certainly other ideas and ways to consider communicating similar messages, and Dangerous Decibels has had years to experiment and try out many ideas. We know that the current content and activities are EFFECTIVE when delivered together. We encourage you to maintain the integrity of the program as you deliver it to your audiences. However, if you have a new idea, or discover something else that works well for you when delivering the program, we welcome learning about them. Please email us with your ideas and share your experiences.

YOU will make a difference!

Now, the most important part of this online training is ahead of you!

The value of your time and effort is only realized once you deliver the Dangerous Decibels program in your local schools and communities.

It’s up to you to make a difference and help reduce the prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus. Everyone wants to hear for a lifetime, and you can help them do so!
