• Description:
  Given the practically omnipresent exposures to loud sounds -wanted and unwanted- the challenge to prevent hearing loss and tinnitus remains significant. The high rate of these conditions casts doubt on the effectiveness of preventive interventions. Today we have fewer obstacles and more tools than before. Two approaches will be discussed. The first includes research methods to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive interventions. The second focuses on the expansion of science communication efforts to: a) improve awareness of the negative effects of noise and ways to prevent these among the general public, and b) to motivate individuals and organizations to act.
