Hearing Research – Current Insights

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35061637/Awareness, Perceptions, and Literacy Surrounding Hearing Loss and Hearing Rehabilitation Among the Adult Population in the United States
- Searching for educational materials to teach children about the importance of hearing has improved greatly over the last 30 years. What about adult education? To paraphrase Dr. Doug Ohlin, if a drop of blood ran out of the ear for every decibel of hearing lost, individuals would need little convincing that hazardous noise damages hearing. Researchers with the Hearing Health Collaborative, https://adulthearing.com/hearing-health-collaborative/, surveyed 1,250 U.S. adults. Among their findings: less than 20% understood that hearing loss is preventable. While (59%) reported taking their pet(s) to a veterinarian, just 27% reported having a hearing evaluation.

In 2003, Astrophysicists working with NASA’s orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory, a 45-foot satellite telescope which detects X-ray emissions from exploded stars, galaxy clusters, and matter near black holes, recorded sound pressure waves with a period of 10 million years. Now, they have translated the frequencies in these waves to within human audibility. Universe Idol, anyone? To learn more click here.

In memoriam
Posted: May 13, 2022
On April 11, 2022, NHCA members lost a dear friend and mentor, with the passing of Dr. Sig Soli. Sig graduated from St. Olaf College in 1968, served asan officer in the US Air Force, and earned his PhD in Experimental Psychology from the University of Minnesota (1979). He became a distinguished professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Maryland. Sig also helped improve cochlear implants while at the House Ear Institute for 23 years and worked to develop the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT) in over 20 languages. Sig will be remembered by all as a talented and loving man. His smile and laughter at NHCA will be greatly missed.
