In the= research literature, however, there is debate as to how noise sensitivity = should be conceptualized or measured. A three-year research project funded by the Fondation pour l'Audition (FPA)= aims to investigate this question in-depth by reviewing the pertinent lite= rature, setting up, running and analyzing laboratory experiments as well as= conducting surveys. The relevance of this work is the conceptual clarifica= tion of the concept and the designation of a reliable measure of noise sens= itivity with future applications in public health surveys.
