Ear-Cleaning Poetry Contest
Posted: October 7, 2020
In the last issue of the Spectrum, NHCA announced the Ear-Cleaning Poetry Contest. You were asked to find or create your favorite poems with an explicit focus on sounds and the soundscape. The goal is to elevate our hearing awareness and to discover a fabulous sound poem to be read at next year’s conference. We are still eager to hear from you!
NHCA Members can login here to access Spectrum Vol. 37 Issue 1 and view page 12, which has more information on the contest. |
Hearing Research - Current Insights
Posted: October 7, 2020 
- A recent NIOSH publication concludes that large numbers of workers within the services work sector have an elevated risk of hearing loss and need immediate hearing conservation efforts. A number of sub-sectors studied had adjusted risks significantly higher than expected, even some traditionally viewed as ‘low-risk’ for hearing loss.
Sekhom, Masterson, and Themann (2020). Prevalence of hearing loss among noise-exposed workers within the services sector, 2006–2015. International Journal of Audiology.
- DoD Hearing Conservation Program evaluation has historically been limited to service-specific hearing metrics. In a recent article published on the Military Health System website, researchers present findings from the first review of audiometric data according to the Measures of Effectiveness developed by the DoD Hearing Conservation Working Group in 2018.
