There’s a public health threat we deal with every day that doesn’t get much attention. But it’s associated with heart attacks, elevated blood pressure, sleep disruption, mental health issues, cognitive performance, and even workplace fatalities.

In this Facebook Live replay, Neitzel explains how noise affects our well-being and what we can do to help minimize this public health risk.
