Sound Postcard
Posted June 9, 2021
Summer has (finally) arrived, finding us longing for lazy days at the beach. So what better way to celebrate summer than indulging in underwater acoustic recordings of marine life? Enjoy “Sounds of the Ocean” and accompanying spectrograms compiled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Upcoming Webinars - An Advantage of NHCA!!
Posted: May 5, 2021
The 2021 NHCA/CAOHC webinar series is underway! Mark your calendars and register for two upcoming workshops. CEUs are available from AAA and ASHA for attendance of live programs. NHCA members pay a reduced rate. Previous webinars are available on demand for home study. To learn more and register, click here: https://www.hearingconservation.org/nhca-caohc-webinar-series
Topic: Age Adjustment in Occupational Hearing Conservation Programs
When: May 13, 2021 at 2 pm EST
About the Webinar: The tables used by OSHA to adjust occupational audiograms for the effects of age were developed over 50 years ago. In this presentation, we describe new data that suggest the OSHA tables over-adjust for age effects, resulting in reduced sensitivity to detection of noise-induced hearing loss.
Presenters: Greg Flamme, Ph.D. and Kristy Deiters, Au.D.
Topic: Impulsive Noise: Understanding, Measuring, and Assessing
When: June 17, 2021 at 2 pm EST
About the Webinar: Exposures to high-level impulsive noises such as collisions of objects, firearms, or explosions significantly increase the risk for developing noise-induced hearing loss. Understanding technological limitations and learning about specific techniques for capturing and measuring impulse noise can result in more accurate and repeatable data.
Presenter: Donald Finan, Ph.D.

In Memoriam - Donald C. Gasaway
Posted: May 5, 2021
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of one of our most beloved members, Don Gasaway, on Monday April 5, 2021. Many of us were friends of Don, students of Don, disciples of Don. Don was the reason for the establishment of NHCA’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and its first recipient. For those of you who attended our 2019 conference, you were graced with the opportunity to hear Don orate from the “pulpit” and impart his zeal for that work we do. Elliott Berger will share a full obituary in an upcoming issue of the Spectrum. Meanwhile, Don’s family suggests that contributions his friends wish to make should be directed to the NHCA Scholarship Foundation. |
