Current and Future Activities1. The TC is in the process of developing workshops and Tutorials for the 124 and 125 AES conventions in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and San Francisco, CA.
2. The TC is in the initial stages of developing a proposal for an AES Conference with the working Title “Engineering Technology for Hearing Conservation and Sound Reproduction”.
3. The TC is looking for a research partner to study the relationship between individual Otoacoustic Emissions data and Hearing Threshold Data. We have identified a potential research partner and are now developing a research plan.
4. The TC is working on implementing a hearing screening and consultation program at the 124th AES Convention in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
5. The TC iorganized a "How Loud Do You Listen" test and demonstration in conjucntion with the NHCA (National Hearing Conservation Association). This activity took place at the 121 AES Convention in San Francisco. We expect to have results from this test program by May of 2008.
