SPEAKER TOPIC
HEARING HAZARD VS HUMAN HEALTH
Is the future of sound and music changing?
The impact of sound on human health is a paradox:
While loud dance music is enjoyable it can also be a hazard and permanently damage your hearing.
However, intentional "immersive" sound is widely used for deep therapeutic health benefits
Topics being discussed and explained will include:
The Mechanism: How we process sound and hazards of loud music.
The neurological experience.
The physical experience.
Sound as medicine, therapy and parasympathetic regulation.
The future of the dance music experience in venues.
