Introduction: young people often listen to amplified music, which calls attention to the importance of projects to promote their hearing health, raise their awareness, and change their behaviors. Objective: to promote learning on the topic, assess knowledge on hearing health, and spread acquired knowledge to the community. Methods: a hearing health social-educational program was carried out with 12 seventh graders at a public school in Southeastern Brazil. The program was organized for blended learning (in-person meetings and virtual learning environment [VLE] activities), using the Young Doctor Project methodology. For the assessment, students answered a questionnaire on their previous knowledge and auditory behavior, as well as a problem-situation questionnaire. VLE was assessed with a motivational survey sheet, and the impact of the program was analyzed through a questionnaire administered to the teachers. Results: there were changes in the students’ behaviors regarding the time and volume at which they used the earphones. Also, 100% of them improved their knowledge of the risks high sound levels pose to hearing. The VLE descriptive analysis indicated that the mean values of the “organized” and “easy to use” domains had the best performances. The last stage involved 802 people in the classroom interactive activities and hearing health cultural spaces, which created a health production chain. Conclusion: the program directly reached young people, promoting their learning, behavior changes, and improved quality of life.
