Did you know that approximately 60% of the population experiences some degree of hearing loss, whether due to genetics, age, or environmental factors? Preserving hearing health is essential for communication, balance, overall health, and even maintaining brain function.

Regardless of age or hearing ability, limiting exposure to excessive noise and using protective equipment around loud environments is crucial for preventing further damage.

The NEEDED project is dedicated to tackling noise pollution from planes and airports by improving how we characterize and predict aviation-related noise. This work is essential in creating a quieter, healthier environment for everyone.
