Forensic Acoustics and Audiology Litigation Services
Forensic acoustics incorporates the application of physics and physiology
to resolve legal issues, in addition to research and regulatory topics such
as hearing conservation, and formulation of codes and standards.
It covers topics such as:
- Product liability
- Materials sciences
- Codes and Standards
- Hearing conservation
- Evaluating alleged occupational hearing loss
- Land use planning and noise impacts on property
- Predicting audibility of conversations and of warning signals
If you encountered a criminal, civil, workers compensation, or nuisance case
that involves an issue of hearing loss, noise exposure, speech, warning
signal audibility, or environmental noise, what type of expert would you turn to?
Would you search for an audiologist … the professional best suited
to address issues that relate to noise-induced hearing loss and the
perception of sound? Or would you look for an acoustical engineer …
the professional best suited to address issues that relate to the
assessment of occupational and environmental noise? In many cases,
these separate specialty areas overlap making it even more difficult to
decide which
expert is best suited for the case.
Dr. Tom Thunder is qualified as an expert in both specialty
areas of Audiology and Acoustical Engineering. As such,
his Studies and Testimony have been instrumental in settling or
deciding numerous cases.
