Potential solutions include reducing dynamic range, volume reduction when not actively participating in the game, and actively reducing sounds that are known to induce tinnitus, or hearing ringing or buzzing sounds.
It’s official. Noise is unwanted and/or harmful sound. I hope that awareness of the facts that wanted noise can cause auditory damage and that unwanted noise is stressful will help us achieve a quieter world.
Sound suppression technology is the latest innovation in military weaponry. While hearing protection is still a must, each bit of reduction is significant.
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.
As a member of many Facebook groups in Spanish related to hearing condition issues, I feel that with Spanish translations of key pages, HHF can reach and bring help to a lot of people who are from Spanish-speaking countries.

No longer solely associated with older adults, hearing aids are poised to be embraced by a new wave of tech-savvy and style-conscious individuals who are reshaping the industry and challenging long-held perceptions.
Our results hold the promise to advance understanding of the cortical mechanisms underlying disorders associated with maladaptive cortical plasticity after peripheral damage, such as tinnitus, hyperacusis, and difficulty hearing in noisy environments.
