Compiled by Barry Rueger rueger@community-media.com

This list was compiled from information received from participants in the acoustic-ecology Soundscape list and from the hs-canada Occupational Health and Safety list. It's not exhaustive, but it should answer most questions about high sound levels and hearing damage. I've arranged them from least to most technical.
