assist the audience with knowledgeable graphs and statistics to help prove their point and to
provide evidence.
Evaluation
This sources currency is most recent with a copyright from 2016, therefore it is up to
date with the numbers and statistics involved. The intended audience is scholarly yet also
available for the general public because it is on the world wide web. There is no specific author
because this source was published by a research foundation, therefore still has the credentials to
be scholarly work. There was no evident bias shown throughout the article. The main purpose of
this source is to both inform and teach the general public and those involved in NIHL about the
importance and the safety precautions to be aware of. This source is important for my research

because it provides valid statistics and facts about my research question, is hearing loss in young
adults caused by loud music?
