May I make a suggestion please? Academic papers are available to all of us via the wonders of the Internet.

Those of us communicating on Connect are all seekers of the best possible information we look for the science and research based information. As a participant and volunteer mentor in Lung Health and Joint & Bone Health groups I spend many hours finding, reading and sharing the best available information. Many other groups are enriched by the research efforts of their participants, since the world of health and disease is far too extensive for any one person to have answers to all the questions at their fingertips. I am also a person with hearing loss who worked in noisy environments, but I have no time for another research topic.

Would you possibly consider becoming a researcher of academic and scientific information about noise-induced hearing loss? When you find the specific information you are seeking, you could then share it with the rest of us. I am sure there are many of us who would be grateful.
