Podcasts about audiometric

Noise is a significant hazard in the construction, transportation, and utility sectors, and extended exposure can be harmful at levels that workers may not notice or consider disruptive, resulting in gradual hearing loss. Noise-induced hearing loss continues to be the leading cause of non-fatal occupational disease claims in Ontario. On this episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, we are joined once again by Jasmine Kalsi, IHSA's Occupational Hygienist, and Blair Allin, Canada's National Health and Safety Representative for the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers.Jasmine and Blair discuss in detail noise exposure in the workplace and the need for audiometric testing. Audiometric testing is a non-invasive and painless hearing test that assesses an individual's ability to hear sounds at different intensities. Audiometric tests are beneficial in the workplace, as they allow both employers and workers to have a record of hearing function and determine the effectiveness of existing noise control measures.Jasmine and Blair also speak on the process of getting and conducting audiometric testing in a workplace, emphasizing the necessity for employers to consider audiometric testing as a best practice.Free ResourcesIHSA Podcast Episode #63: Noise Exposure in the WorkplaceNoise control toolNoise assessment toolDoing something about noiseControlling noise exposure in constructionBasics of hearing protection for workers (eLearning)Basics of hearing protection for employers, JHSC, and H&S repsThe leading causes of occupational illness in OntarioSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This podcast highlights original research published in the June 2019 issue of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, the official journal of the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) Foundation. The objective of this study was to determine the role of cognitive testing in predicting age-appropriate audiometric responses among children aged 30 to 42 months. In conclusion, the DAYC-2 is a useful screen to identify children likely to complete an age-appropriate audiogram.   Click here to read the full article.

Companies have come back to this model time and time again. Here is a quick history lesson: Podshow/Mevio 8/2005 – 4/2014 (116 months – 38.8 million dollars spent) Podango 9/2006 – 12/2008 (27 Months) wildvoice.com 7/2006 – 7/2009 (36 months) mypodcasts.com 2007 – 2011 (estimated 48 months) Audiometric.io 11/ 2012 – 8/2014 (21 months before being purchased by panoply and taken off the market) Opinion Podcasting 11/2015-10/2017 (23 months) Zcast 1/2016 – 1/2019 (36 months) That is an average of 43 months. It's even less if we were to removed Mevio who went through 38.8 million dollars. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/anchorsucks/support

I am honored to be in such good company, and deeply grateful for all the kind words. In looking back at my 13 years I noticed a pattern: How Podcasting Works Valuable content leads to relationships that lead to opportunities. The key word is VALUABLE content. Then you have to work at relationships, and you need to take advantage of every opportunity. Look back I see how: 6:00 Who are Dave's influences?

Take Podshow and the 38 million out of the picture and that drops to 31 (which is close to my typical answer of three years or 36 months) Anchor.fm was started in August of 2015. If they make it 45 months that is May of 2019. If they go 31 months that would be May of 2018. So far Anchor has burned through 14.4 M already (see https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/anchor-fm#section-locked-charts ) 24:00 How I got the job as the director of the New Media Expo 25:57 Podcasters Roundtable shows embracing your competition 26:30 Podcasters Roundtable leads to me interviewing Jordan Harbinger 27:11 My relationship with Daniel J Lewis leads to me getting involved with the Membership Guys 27:48 Talking to Mike Morrison leads to me speaking at Social Media Marketing World 30:11 Podcast Movement and Steve Stewart leads to me meeting Glenn the Geek Hebert 32:50 Glenn invites me to speak at Podfest 34:22 Jared Easley introduces me to Danny Pena 36:16 My second trip to Podfest leads to me being interviewed 37:10 My interview, leads to me being featured in the Messengers a Podcast Documentary 38:16 My speaking resume made it easier to get more speaking gigs 39:20 Podcasting is like farming.

I've been seeing a new tool pop up on more and more sites. This lead me to thinking, "What are they using to do this?" When I was using YNAB.com the owner let me know the software had been updated. When I was using Audiometric.io I was told that the system would be down by maintenance. So when I found this tool, and found out that you can start using it for $4 if you have less than 500 contacts in the database - it seems like a complete no brainer. You can take it for a spin for free for 30 days. Here is a video that shows off what it can do

Hi Mike, I can't thank you enough for answering my question here and on your great show. That's awesome. I waited until I listened to the episode and the demo you made. Regarding the hiss issue, please have a listen to the attached audio clips -NOT to be published :) All clips are recorded in Adobe Audition and from their saved as mp3. I also want to mention these points about the hiss I'm getting: - It's not a buzz or hum. It's just a white noise just like that you get from a cheap mixer pres when you crank the gain all the way up. May be I'm being an audiophile. I just don't hear such a noise in your recordings or in any other advanced podcaster's. My podcast is about podcasting :) and I want to get as clean audio as I can. - It's probably less hiss than that in your demo. It's like the one in your demo but after your have applied the noise reduction process. - The Mackie interface I'm using is powered via USB only. So, the ground issue is not likely to be the cause although I get another buzz when my Macbook is charging in 120v only. I managed to deal with that either by unplugging the charger or using the 3 to 2-prong adapter you mentioned. - It's not the Mackie fault because it is present even if I plug the AT2005 via USB directly into the MacBook. - I use a Planet Waves XLR 3-foot cable. There is no power cables near my setup, no power supply bricks in the room. I also tried a different Audio-Technica cable just to make sure. - As I said, it's like the noise from a preamp. But the Mackie Onyx Blackjack has a clean preamps. I think your mixer has the same Onyx ones. They are very clean up to 60dB which I never go above. After that you get a really annoying noise. - I suspect that it is the dynamic mics as they tend to be gain hungry and never have enough gain. - I tried the noise reduction tool in Audition and though it removed the hiss completely from silences, I didn't like the over all result that it gave my voice. I think it negates the idea of having a professional setup. I sounded like talking with a cheap headset. My question this time is that: If I add a gate like the Behringer you use or the DBX 286s, will this kill the noise? Thank you so much. Keep the good work. Best, Ahmad A: Ahmad, I have to say all three of the samples you sent me seem great. I’m not hearing much in the silence so whatever it is you are hearing is not nearly as bad as you think it is. It might be you are getting a bit picky (which is normal for podcasters to do). You might just be hearing the room noise, even though it seems very low / non-existent to me. In that case, a noise gate such as the Autocom Pro XL I have, or the DBX box would silence the blank spaces in your audio file. It might be worth a try. The compressor, limiter, and expander functions are handy in some situations, but I don’t really use that part. Just the gate function. I then do my compression and such in post editing along with normalizing using Auphonic. Do you need Media hosting? Did I hear you say on a recent podcast you don't have to have a hosting account with a Libsyn or Blubrry to link a podcast to iTunes? If so, how do I go about submitting an rss/feed to iTunes and other podcast directories. Great show. Dan A: no, you don’t NEED Libsyn or Blubrry to generate an RSS feed. In fact, the best way (contrary to SOME beliefs) is using a wordpress.org website (Self hosted, not Wordpress.com) and using powerpress to generate your podcast-compliant RSS feed.

Today Dave and Jim talk about: Getting into iHeart Radio (2:00) From Justin Harvey: Is there a way to speed up the iHeart radio submission process? (not really) Stitcher Update 8:30 Jim submitted his shows one at a time to get the updates to the name changes. Jim found them supportive when he used their email, and their support portal. Tweeting them didn't seem to help Spreaker Stats 12:00-ish Spreaker stats have updated to combine all downloads (so you can't see iheart radio stats) Audiometric.io 16:46  https://audiometric.io/ says sponsors are starting soon and right now they have an ad in rotation (we play it). You don't get to pick the advertiser. Their service is free, and their stats are so-so. They whack your file name. It's free. Reverand Kenn Blanchard is using crowd funding to kick off his new Blanchard Outdoors show 21:09 Kenn is using indigogo to crowd fund his new show You need an engaged crowd to succeed at a crowd funding plan. School of Podcasting Give Away 31:00 Henry Jasper wins a free year at the School of Podcasting. CONGRATS and thanks to everyone who filled in the School of podcasting listener survey.  Casturbation 38:17 Dave published an article on Casturbation Are you talking with a purpose? Are your actions going to add value to your audience? Twitter Bombing 43:45 Bryan Orr has an article where he talks about a twitter bombing experiment. Dave interviews Bryan on the School of Podcasting.

Today we had a scare where some of the technology we use to produce the show was down. So we switched things up and in the end we ended up with a more robust live page with a better chat interface. The cool thing about Chat Wing is you can login with all of your social media sites (twitter, facebook, etc). It is occasionally flaky.  Podcast Guest Releases [6:20] Panda Doc is a tool that you can use with your computer/tablet to obtain signatures. Some people just have their guest do an audio release. Something like, "Is there anything in the interview we just did that you would not want to be made public?". If you want a signature check out Panda Doc. Another tool is Hello Sign.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C-YEXFwT4I Audello Package [8:20] A new platform for podcasters. It hasn't launched yet and I haven't heard about it.  Getting Music For Your Podcast That Matches Your Audience [9:50] I use websites like Audio Jungle for snippets of songs. There are other at the School of Podcasting resource section.  Music is tough to pick. I've seen people have their podcast stall because they continue  Podcaster Hall of Fame [17:20] There is a new Podcaster Hall of Fame being launched at the New Media Expo this year. Who do you think should be in it? How to Use Fair Use -  [19:20] Grant from Australia wants to know . Melody Loops is a service Grant likes. If the music is not licensed, do not use it. You need the songwriter, the performer, and the person/company that owns the rights to it to  rights. If you don't have all three of those sign off on the music you are using the music illegally. Do people use music illegally? Yes. Does it make it legal? No. Use at your own risk.  Global Language Differences [31:15] As caller Craig is from Australia we talk about what different words mean like "Bloody" etc. Craig was AWESOME! Check out Jim's Show at www.theaverageguy.tv/hgg175   Podcast Hosting Discussion[37:00] Jim does enterprise podcasting and explains how he is moving to Mixlr from Spreaker and why. Jim enjoys the fact that you can setup one code from Mixlr and you don't have to update your website.  Alternatives to Libsyn and Blubrry [43:00] Media Fire is a low cost, extremely basic stats, with a limit on bandwidth, this is an option.  Amazon S3 discussion [45:00] When you use options like Media Fire, Amazon S3, and Azzure from Microsoft (around 23 /month). These are more technical, and you can end up with a more expensive hosting bill than if you use Libsyn.com or Blubrry (get a free month using the code sopfree ). Audiometric.io still no ads. Having Your Own App [56:00] If your audience isn't that technical, this cold boost your listeners as they may not understand RSS but they would understand "download my app." You can check out Dave's app at www.schoolofpodcasting.com/app Join the School of Podcasting

Background: Our objective was to assess the auditory function ofgynaecological tumour patients who had received cytotoxic agents and todetermine their associated risk of ototoxicity. Patients and Methods: 87patients who had undergone chemotherapy for gynaecological malignancieswere investigated. Of these patients, 79% had breast cancer, and 14%ovarian cancer. All of the patients had a subjective assessment of theirhearing function on a visual analogue scale. Audiometric tests wereperformed before and at 9 weeks, 18 weeks and 3 months after completionof chemotherapy. Results: The age of the patients ranged from 32 to 71years (mean age of 53.5 +/- 10.5 years). The average subjective ratingof the patients’ hearing function was 83.0 +/- 17.2 before and 84.8 +/-16.9 3 months after completion of chemotherapy. No significantaudiometric change at either the speech hearing frequency range (0.5-2KHz) or high frequencies was observed in the patients afterchemotherapy. There was also no significant difference in the hearingthreshold of the patients who had received platinum analogue-basedchemotherapy compared to non-platinum analogue-based chemotherapy.Conclusion: Hearing loss is uncommon in patients treated with thetypical gynaecological chemotherapy protocols. Hence, routineaudiometric testing in these patients is not necessary.
