In this episode…Making your way in the world with hearing loss can be difficult. Even without hearing loss, the risk of permanent hearing damage is shockingly common in modern society. Unfortunately, there are very few tools that can help people know the audio profile of places before they arrive. That’s where SoundPrint comes in. Gregory Scott is the Founder of SoundPrint, an app that creates a database for the noise levels of real-world locations. This allows people to find quiet spaces anywhere and helps warn people of potentially damaging levels. So how does the app work and where did it originate? Dr. Mark Syms has an informative conversation with Gregory Scott, the Founder of SoundPrint, to discuss the new app. The two discuss how it was made, the technology behind it, and its most practical applications. They go onto other topics such as young hearing loss, good audio environments for conversations, and how different devices measure sound.
