Dr. Marshall Chasin
Clatter, music and hearing loss
Wednesday, November 16, 2016 • 6:00–8:00 p.m.
William Doo Auditorium, 45 Willcocks Street
Music exposure can pose a problem, especially with the advent of "portable" music and other contributing noise sources in our daily lives. Despite the complexity of the human auditory system, it does not know the difference between industrial noise and music. Indeed, many of the factors can equally affect music exposure as well as industrial exposure. This talk is an overview of those factors affecting hearing for musicians as well as us other mere mortals, including discussion of hearing protection to minimize the potentially damaging effects of music.
Entry is free, but spaces are limited.
