Evaluation of an online intervention to promote hearing protective behavior in young people.
Article in Internet interventions, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: The present study evaluated the effectiveness of a new online behavioral intervention (Listening type Check) as an extension to an online hearing test, to increase safe ear- and headphone use and change the underlying psychological factors in persons 16-21 years old. Design: An intensive longitudinal study with experimental design, using the experience sampling method, measured listening behavior and psychological factors two weeks before and after doing an online hearing test plus Listening type Check (intervention) or hearing test alone (control). Additionally, a process evaluation was performed. Study sample: Persons aged 16 to 21 years living in the Netherlands and using head- or earphones for at least one hour per week. Participants ( Results: Participants in the two weeks pre-intervention, used ear- or headphones for about 6 days a week, 2 h a day, mostly choosing a sound volume around 60% (on 0-100% scale). A loud volume (i.e. ≥60% when <18 years) was used for 40 min a day. These behaviors and underlying psychological factors did not change in the two weeks after doing the intervention. Conclusions: Participation in a new online behavioral intervention plus online hearing test did not increase safe ear- and headphone use or change underlying psychological factors. Participants were primarily theoretically educated and exhibited relatively safe listening behavior at baseline, which may explain the absence of an intervention effect. A new effect study with vocationally educated participants or other high-risk groups is recommended.
