Over three days in May 2022 hearing assessments have been undertaken for the Royal College of Music by Prof Stephen Dance and Dr Rob Shepheard. The work combined audiometry testing and otoacoustic emission assessment to help the students with their hearing conservation programme.
Testing new MEMS based sound level meters from Convergence Instruments, in the acoustics laboratory with representatives from Environmental Sensors. Very strange looking test to compare microphone sensitivities!
On the 3th May 2022 the IOA Certificate of Competence in Environmental Noise Measurements (CCENM) commenced for the eighth year. Course director Dr Luis Gomez-Agustina welcomed and introduced the course to twelve highly motivated candidates. This year the delivery mode has returned to fully in person. We hope the candidates enjoy the course
Charles Greene, UK general manager of acoustic instrumentation manufacturer NTI Audio, visited LSBU on 28th April 2022 to deliver an informative and useful instrumentation workshop to the 2021-22 Diploma students. The session demonstrated capabilities such as web based-noise real time remote noise monitoring, noise ratings XL2 module, noise explorer software and automated reporting. Charles shared some expertise on instrumentation calibration and good advice on some common mistakes made with field measurements. The workshop organised by Diploma course director Dr Luis Gomez-Agustina, was very well received by the students who showed their keen interest during the themed discussions and even after the workshop when they stayed on to network with Charles.
