Exploring Inconsistencies in the Study of Portable Music Listening
How facts are researched is sometimes just as important as the facts themselves. Up for a good read? This insightful study explores some interesting hearing health research and the inconsistencies within it.
While on the hunt for facts on how portable listening devices (PLDs) affect hearing health, researchers have had wildly varying findings on how different ethnic groups use PLDs. If facts are facts, why would several researchers have different findings? Co-authored by Tobias and Battite’s own Dr. Brian Fligor, this study digs deep to uncover the reasons behind these differences. It also offers handy tips on how to prevent noise-induced hearing loss.
By examining the listening habits of various ethnic groups, the researchers aim to provide a better understanding of the cultural and demographic factors influencing PLD use. If you’re interested in how culture affects technology use and health, or if you’re simply looking for ways to protect your hearing, this study is a must-read.
