AES Technical Committee
Hearing and Hearing Loss Prevention
Chair: Robert Schulein (Send Email) Vice Chair: Michael Santucci (Send Email) Vice Chair: Jan Voetmann (Send Email)
Mission Statement
1. Raising AES member awareness of the normal and abnormal functions of the hearing process.
2. Raising AES member awareness of the risk and consequences of hearing loss resulting from excessive sound exposure.
3. Coordinating and providing technical guidance for the AES supported hearing testing and consultation programs at US and European Conventions.
4. Facilitating the maintenance and refinement of a database of audiometric test results and exposure information on AES members.
5. Forging a cooperative union between AES members, audio equipment manufacturers and the hearing the hearing conservation communities for purposes of developing strategies, technologies, and tools to reduce and prevent hearing loss.
Current Areas Of Work
- Organizing a 2nd International AES Conference on Hearing and Hearing Loss Prevention. Anticipated Date: Late 2015 to early 2016
- Re-starting an program to provide hearing screening testing at AES Conventions in the US and Europe, on a permanent basis.
- Organize a Special issue of JAES on hearing and Hearing Loss Prevention topics.

Introduction
The AESTC on Hearing and Hearing Loss
Prevention was established in 2005 with
five initial goals focused on informing the
membership as to important aspects of the
hearing process and issues related to hearing
loss, so as to promote engineering based
solutions to improve hearing and
reduce hearing loss. Its aims include the
following: raising AES member awareness
of the normal and abnormal functions of
the hearing process; raising AES member
awareness of the risk and consequences of
hearing loss resulting from excessive sound
exposure; coordinating and providing technical
guidance for the AES-supported hearing
testing and consultation programs at
U.S. and European conventions; facilitating
the maintenance and refinement of a database
of audiometric test results and exposure
information on AES members; forging
a cooperative union between AES members,
audio equipment manufacturers, hearing
instrument manufacturers, and the hearing
conservation community for purposes of
developing strategies, technologies, and
tools to reduce and prevent hearing loss.
