About this event
Noise and Hearing Protection is an essential course designed to increase awareness of how noise impacts human hearing and cognitive health—especially among individuals with learning disabilities. Noise is more than an annoyance; it’s a health hazard that can result in permanent hearing damage, communication difficulties, and learning challenges, particularly in sensitive environments such as schools, workplaces, and care facilities.
This globally-relevant course dives deep into the science of sound, risk identification, noise measurement, legal standards, and effective protective strategies. It equips participants with the knowledge to assess and reduce noise hazards through engineering controls, personal protective equipment (PPE), and hearing conservation programs.
The course offers practical and legislative insights on how to protect hearing across various environments, including industrial, educational, and community settings. Learners will understand how excessive noise affects behavior, concentration, and emotional regulation, making hearing protection critical—not just for physical health but for overall well-being and learning success.
Whether you're an educator, parent, safety professional, or advocate for individuals with learning disabilities, this course provides the tools you need to build sound-conscious, inclusive environments.
