Creation of a controlled music exposure lab setting.
What is it about?
This is a paper that describes our attempt to reproduce in the lab, under safe conditions, the phenomenon of temporary hearing loss after exposure to loud music.
Why is it important?
Managing to reproduce safely this type of temporary hearing loss due to loud music could help researchers better understand this phenomenon which is now partially understood. It could also be helpful in testing if specific medication or personal characteristics make some people more or less vulnerable to loud music.
