In this presentation, renowned sound engineer and psychology professor, Susan Rogers, reveals details of recent experiments, which have uncovered a potential explanation for the origin of hearing abnormalities like tinnitus, increased sensitivity to certain frequencies, and difficulty perceiving speech in noise. Learn how these symptoms may indicate the initial stages of noise induced hearing loss (NIHL), and why moderate and high stress levels can make us particularly prone to auditory damage.

    I just skipped through and the bits I saw are amazing and very clear. Really some new insights for me. I'm gonna watch it in full later. Thanks for this!

    @11:49 - This is very important. Before we had the SSL4000 installed in our studio, people used to LISTEN - not look at any screens. Once we had the screen showing the timecode and the green-screen cue-dot tracking the song, people would just become mesmerised by the display - to such an extent that the studio owner (well-known artist), would ask me "Are we using total recall today?" and if the answer was "no" he would switch it off (as the engineer, I would use the mini-screen sunk into the console centre-panel). Watching screens DEFINITELY stops you listening properly!

    In short: if you stand too close in front of a speaker membrane you're gonna go blind^^

    If this isn't an advertisement for teaching music to kids at home I don't know what is. There is a balance between generating original music at home and hearing it mass reproduced, in terms of intelligence.
