Royal Academy of Music Hearing Tests

 
For the 15th year the Royal Academy of Music have collaborated with London South Bank University to undertake hearing tests for all new students. Prof Stephen Dance is using a new technique called Otoacoustic Emission to establish at the earliest possible stage any hearing damage to the musicians. This is backed up by the gold standard, Pure Tone Audiometry tests which are regularly undertaken by the students.
