We’re excited to again work with our partner SoundPrint, a hearing health app, to promote hearing health awareness. Join us this October for SoundPrint’s Find Your Quiet Place Challenge!
During the month of October, which is also National Protect Your Hearing Month, Hearing Health Foundation is proud to be among the 30-plus hearing health organizations participating in the 2023 FYQP Challenge to collect sound level data using the SoundPrint app.
The sound measurements from the challenge will enable SoundPrint to advocate for safe noise levels, help communities find quieter places, and protect the public’s hearing health.
It’s fun, easy—and prizes will be awarded! Please join us for this year’s challenge!
The Details
Beginning October 1 and continuing all month till October 31, we are focusing our attention on sound levels in our communities and taking sound measurements using SoundPrint in our local public such as restaurants, bars, parks, shops, offices, theaters, and cafes.
The goal is to measure and submit as many sound levels as possible. Prizes will be awarded to the most dedicated participants.
Using SoundPrint is simple. Once downloaded, your smartphone turns into a decibel meter allowing you to take sound measurements everywhere you go and then easily share them by submitting them to the app’s database.
