- ... that there are tools and resources to help develop safe listening habits to prevent any risks to hearing (pictured)?
- ALT1:... that there are ways to create safe listening habits (pictured) to cut down the risk of hearing loss and tinnitus?
- ALT2:... that safe listening prevents risks to hearing from voluntary sound exposure (example pictured) rather than unwanted noise?
- Comment: May is Better hearing and speech month; it would be opportune to publish then.
Created by TMorata (talk) and John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk). Nominated by TMorata (talk) at 21:39, 8 April 2021 (UTC).
New article, length is good, nominated on time. Per the Manual of Style (WP:MoS), it would be good if the external links in the body of the article were removed, or changed to actual citations. I think the second hook is best, but does it have a specific citation? Hooks are not usually summaries of the whole article, but pull out a particularly interesting part of it. The image is fine on copyright status. One last question - has a QPQ been done, or is it not needed? I.e. have you previously made 5 or fewer successful DYK nominations, or do you have more than that? Happy to take a look again after these issues have been addressed.

- Hi @Ganesha811: and @John P. Sadowski (NIOSH): Thanks for the help with this nomination. I changed the links into actual citations as suggested. A citation for the second hook would be PMID: 28615542, but I am not clear what to do with that. While this is my first DYK nomination, my collaborator User:John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) has done many many. I hope this helps. Ideally we would like this to go live in May. TMorata (talk) 20:13, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Great, the improvements to the article looks good. The citation looks suitable - normally it would be included when you nominate, but as this is your first DYK, it's not a big deal, as long as it checks out. While ALT1 looks ok as a hook, I wonder if you might want to find something more "hooky" - something that is more likely to grab the readers attention. Looking over the article, the data from the Apple Hearing Study stood out. Perhaps try creating a new hook from that, or another part of the article? Ganesha811 (talk) 21:50, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks I agree. It is a tough one. How about:
- ALT3:... that new apps and information can help with safe listening so you can enjoy your music AND protect your hearing (pictured)?
- ALT4:... that new apps and information can help safe listening to your music without the risk of hearing damage(pictured)?

Let's go with Alt 2! I think it works best, but thank you for your new suggestions. Another volunteer will come along and close the discussion and hopefully move this to approved hooks shortly. Congrats. Ganesha811 (talk) 22:34, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- TMorata John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) Can you add a reference to the last sentence of the Entertainment venues section? I would then be happy to promote the nomination. SL93 (talk) 22:34, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- SL93 John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) Done (citation added) and THANKS for the careful review and support! TMorata (talk) 14:54, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
