Event Description:
Jolene is a system for measuring the sound levels of personal stereo systems. She is part of the Dangerous Decibels education and research projects. Jolene was constructed using a used fashion mannequin and a sound level meter wired to a silicon ear. Jolene made an appearances at the University of Northern Colorado Recreation Center. Patrons of the recreational center were able to have their music listening levels measured and counseled on safe versus dangerous listening choices by UNCO audiology graduate students. Social media announcements promoted hearing health.
