We’re excited to partner again with SoundPrint on the mission this October to promote hearing health awareness in our communities! SoundPrint is a free app for Apple and Android that measures decibel levels and then allows you to share that information with others.
As part of this work, SoundPrint founder Gregory Scott is up for an Oticon Focus on People Award, in the Advocacy category! See SoundPrint’s announcement here, and please vote here on the Oticon site before November 4!
The goal for the Find Your Quiet Place Challenge is to generate quiet spot lists and let venue managers know that we care about noise. Measure the sound level whenever you are out at a restaurant, bar, cafe, stadium, store, park, train station, or any venue.
Each sound measurement taken is invaluable and enables us to advocate for safe noise levels, help communities find quieter places, and protect the public’s hearing health.

Android users of other models can still take advantage of the app’s subjective rating functionality.
I wanted to create a story that not only celebrated the beauty of differences but also conveyed the importance of empathy and understanding. My heart was set on crafting a tale that could empower children with hearing loss while also educating their peers about the significance of inclusivity.
