Inter-Noise Presentation using acoustics and audio together!

Inter-Noise 2025 was held at the World Trade Centre, Sao Paulo, Brazil 24-27 August 2025. A silent disco type arrangement was used in the Golden Hall, so audio and acoustics coming together through headphones! Professor Stephen Dance presented an update on the hearing assessment of classical musicians using otoacoustic emissions alongside Michael Vorlander so competition was stiff! Great event next time Adelaide :)
