Sonic Days 2024

Recent studies on hearing health have led to a new understanding of how temporary "ringing of the ears" and other short-term warnings to sound exposure should not be ignored. If there is a safe sound exposure level, it is lower than previously thought.
 
The latest findings on safe listening are summarised, including short-term and long-term consequences of overdosing. Medical data is compared to hazard-based requirements on sound levels in Europe, and a best practice for audio professionals is outlined.
 
We will also discuss seeding reasonable listening habits in our children, the first generation that could potentially benefit from a better understanding of common threats to hearing in modern life.
