As part of the proposed work, the investigators would like to examine whether there is a need to use a training video to train IDF combat soldiers to improve the use of ear plugs and to prevent hearing loss from exposure to noise, and to characterize the hearing impaired epidemiology of recruits and the basic rate of hearing loss During basic training.
All participants will be randomly assigned to two groups after signing an agreement form:
A - The video group - will be guided by a screening of a 7 minute video that explains the importance of using ear plugs and correct installation.
B- The control group, will be instructed to use earplugs properly, including practical exercises by a medic.

Comparative impact of military training (infantry, armor and artillery) on hearing loss after full training
The study will measure hearing loss using an Oto Acoustic Emission (OAE) measuring device and an Audiometer test. The results after complete training will be compared against the results obtained prior to training
Time frame: 12 months
Percentage of soldiers in combat units which suffer from hearing loss before starting military training
Time frame: 12 months
Percentage of soldiers in combat units which suffer from hearing loss after completing military training classified to the two groups in the study
The study will investigate the effectiveness of a demonstration video as an audio protection tutorial to prevent hearing loss from exposure to noise in trained fighters. This will be measured against a control group which undergo frontal demonstration by a medic.
Time frame: 12 months
