Episode Synopsis

Anyone who's experienced hearing loss or noise sensitivity will appreciate the pioneering efforts of Sownd Affects in the UK, an organization founded by entrepreneur and "audio-inclusive" advocate Marion Marincat. At the age of 26, Marion lost his hearing, and he's turned his loss into something positive. In this episode of Soundproofist, Marion describes how his organization uses data, decibel readings, and design to create spaces and events that are acoustically pleasing without being too loud -- or too quiet. You'll also learn how he's working with the World Health Organization to create more global awareness of noise and hearing health.
