Hearing at work

For hearing-impaired people that experience problems at work we will develop new tests and methods to make a detailed and well-structured analysis of the problems, related to the balance between (reduced) auditory capacities and auditory demands (at work). The work is a collaborative effort of the Netherlands Centre for Occupational Diseases (NCVB) and the Audiological Centres of the Free University Medical Centre (VUMC) and AMC (see also www.gehoorenarbeid.nl) . The results of this analysis will be used in rehabilitation and counselling. The projects in this field are related to the fields of the auditory profile and rehabilitation, mentioned above.

Within this theme we conduct the following projects:

Auditory demands and capacities for hearing impaired employees
Recognition of warning signals in a working environment
