Research Directions for Examining Hazardous Noise at the Theater
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: Hazardous noise in workplaces is a leading cause of preventable hearing loss among American workers. Traditionally, studies of hazardous noise have been conducted in industrial and manufacturing settings. However, there exists a void in research concerning the prevalence of hazardous noise and the means by which HF/E experts can work to mitigate hazardous noise in less commonly researched settings, such as movie theaters. In this paper, I illustrate and discuss why hazardous noise should be investigated in this setting and highlight relevant research questions associated with investigating noise in theater environments.
