    What plug?

    NAL has worked with Choice to review over twenty different filtered earplugs designed for listening to music. We tested the attenuation levels in the lab and we also asked people to try them out in the real world. The results are now available at What Plug? – it’s an easy-to-navigate database to help you make a more informed decision about what plug might be right for your ears.

    Tinnitus video

    Bee HEARsmart is a new video raising awareness of tinnitus among musicians and the music industry. Anyone can experience tinnitus, but research shows that musicians are four times more likely to experience it. Tinnitus risk is also higher for others working in the music industry, as well as gig-goers who are regularly exposed to loud sound.
