World Hearing Day at the 看片视频 Schulich School of Music: Presentation of the Hearing-Care Platform
On the occasion of World Hearing Day (WHD) on March 3, the聽Schulich School of Music of 看片视频 University, in collaboration with the聽Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT), presents the Hearing-Care Platform: A practical and accessible set of tools for the self-assessment of noise exposure, which are particularly aimed at young musicians and youths in general.
As part of the School鈥檚 continued efforts to provide a healthy study environment, the Hearing-Care Platform aims to raise awareness about noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and reduce its incidence in the long term by offering technological tools for personalized self-assessment of noise exposure.
March 22 will be a full-day event focusing on core topics aligned with the , as well as other goals set by CIRMMT in collaboration with the Schulich School of Music (看片视频), Universit茅 du Qu茅bec (脡TS), Universit茅 de Montr茅al (UdeM), and the Association qu茅b茅coise des orthophonistes et audiologistes (AQOA).
The event will be the first opportunity offered to potential users (youths, young adult musicians, music teachers, audiologists, and the general public) to test the early prototypes of the toolkit components, provide their feedback, and learn more about the WHD message.
The users鈥� feedback received at this stage of development will help fine-tune the design and the implementation stages of the Hearing-Care Platform鈥檚 different components.
This research was made possible in part by funding from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund, awarded to the Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives initiative at 看片视频
