Restaurants & Social Venues

An inability to enjoy conversation is often dismissed as old people's problems but with increasing numbers of baby boomers dining out they are increasing the numbers of aurally-challenged people. This makes restaurant acoustics an increasing factor in dining selection; in fact, one in six people in Australia is affected by hearing loss.

Leading audiologists have shown that even mild hearing loss and poor room acoustics render conversation extremely difficult. Noise is often the biggest complaint of restaurant-goers.

Concrete and wooden floors, tiles, glass and other solid finishes might look good and function well in high traffic areas but without any softening they can lead to noise from areas such as voices, music, fans, clatter, chairs scraping and espresso machines hissing, creating sound levels that are not only uncomfortable but making conversation unintelligible.
