Two-Day Activity Card Results
599 two-day activity cards have been returned to date. These cards allow subjects to report their activities and noise exposures over a 40-hour period, and are essential to the project, as they give us an idea of what each subject's noise exposure is like throughout the study.

Noise Monitoring Results
128 noise dosimetry sessions have been recorded to date. These data allow us to capture the noise exposure that subjects experience over a 40-hour period, and to correlate these findings with activities reported on the two-day activity cards.
