Abstract
In this issue of The ASHA Leader, we present two sets of articles by prominent audiologists, researchers and sound engineers. In the first, we listen in on some of the most prominent sources of noise, and describe the risks of extended exposure. In the second, experts suggest how best to minimize adverse effects, from better acoustic design to otoprotective agents to a simple pair of earplugs. We will never eliminate noise, but we may learn to mitigate its auditory and nonauditory effects.
