To prevent noise-related issues, we need to work together to understand the risks
Trying to dissuade young people from listening to amplified music by highlighting the health risks it poses is not effective, emphasizes socio-anthropologist Marc Touché. This expert on amplified music advocates for open dialogue among health professionals, sound engineers, researchers, as well as those who listen to this music and the organizations that represent them. He calls on these experts and citizens to work together to better manage “noise risk.” To strengthen prevention efforts, knowledge must be made available to everyone: organizations, professionals, and educators. It is also important to encourage concertgoers to wear earplugs, as one organization does—in short, to help young people who listen to this music better protect themselves.
