5th Conference “Have you heard – noise is harmful?”
Description:
The 5th conference, “Have you heard – noise is harmful?”, will be organized by the National Labour Inspectorate, ATEST, the Audio Engineering Society, Wrocław University of Science and Technology, and 3M Poland (at the National Labour Inspectorate’s Center of Excellence in Poland). We are pleased to host the following advisory and content partners: the Central Institute for Labour Protection – National Research Institute, the World Hearing Center, the Polish Association of the Deaf, the Polish Acoustical Society, the Acoustical Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the MEDINCUS Hearing and Speech Center, Audika, and Amazon. This year, two discussion panels will be held. The first, “Is noise still a problem?”, will focus on workplace adaptation for deaf and hard‑of‑hearing employees. The second, “Hearing protection from childhood”, will address education on hearing health for children and adolescents. We will offer four workshops covering noise risks at venues and events, headphone listening, and noise exposure in schools. All workshops will be conducted by scientists, medical professionals, and subject‑matter experts, ensuring science‑based knowledge. During the conference, hearing screening and hearing protection fitting will be available. The event will be accessible both onsite and online, with full open access (for deaf people as well). It will be promoted through social media and in printed journal issues (12,000 copies).
