This $369,806 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders will fund research into objective screening tests for noise-induced hearing damage. The University of Wisconsin-Madison will investigate short- and long-term changes in cochlear, afferent, and efferent auditory system function due to noise exposure using otoacoustic emission-based assays of the middle ear muscle reflex and medial olivocochlear reflex....
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), provides $131,555 to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) for a 2-year period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The project aims to investigate how noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) affects the central auditory processing of natural sound categories in the auditory cortex. Key...
The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) awarded a $827,727 Project Grant under the Nursing Research program (CFDA 93.361) to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to develop and test an intervention program aimed at preventing noise-induced hearing loss among Native American adults.

The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a 5-year, $211,119 Project Grant under the CFDA 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" program to San Diego State University Foundation. The project, titled "OIDOS PROTEGIDOS: PREVENTING NOISE EXPOSURE IN FARMWORKERS", aims to quantify noise exposures on farms, evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a multi-level intervention to reduce noise exposures among primarily Latino farmworkers, and assess implementation barriers and facilitators. The project will involve objective noise exposure measurements, a randomized controlled trial of the intervention, and qualitative interviews with farmworkers, managers, and stakeholders. This research seeks to address the prevalent yet overlooked problem of noise-induced hearing loss among farmworkers and develop evidence-based solutions tailored for this underserved population.
