Episode 48 - Hearing and Home Theater with Dr. Bethany Anderson
Introducing Audiologist Dr. Bethany Anderson. Topics will cover protecting your hearing in home theater, cinema and concert environments : Intro by Sam: Welcome Dr. Anderson! What can you tell us about yourself, and are you big into movies, cinema, music? What can home theater viewers do to limit exposure to ear damage while still enjoying dramatic music and sound effects? Are low impact rumbles from a subwoofer safe? Safer than high frequency bangs (gunshots etc)? What's your opinion of theaters like IMAX and Dolby where you can't control the volume being played? Are earplugs like Etymotic Research ER20 safe and useful to wear at movies and concerts? What can people with hearing loss do to extend their hearing? Can you talk about Tinnitus and how it affects the rest of the brain and body? Is it a warning sign someone needs to get hearing checked asap? What's the deal with OTC hearing aids? Are they safe / useful? Is Apple's interest in hearing protection a good thing or just marketing? How often should people get their hearing checked? At what age should they start? Anything else you would like to talk about or promote?
