The Noisy Planet team has been out-and-about in the community! Noisy Planet attended the Hearing Loss Association of America convention in Salt Lake City from June 21-24. The team distributed publications in both English and Spanish, reaching hundreds of people who visited our booth throughout the event.
Next, the Noisy Planet team was off to San Diego from June 29-July 1 for the annual conference of the National Association of School Nurses. More than 250 school nurses visited our exhibit. We enjoyed answering questions and hearing personal stories of how school nurses make hearing protection a priority in their schools and in their own lives.
On July 13, the team led a Noisy Planet presentation at our headquarters, the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland. We spoke to 70 high school students about the research behind hearing loss prevention. We hope that the students, who attended the National Student Leadership Conference, will help to spread the Noisy Planet message to their own communities.
