UI SAFE (University of Iowa—Sound Awareness For Everyone) is a group of clinical and research audiologists and graduate students, based out of the Wendell Johnson Speech and Hearing Clinic, interested in hearing conservation. The group holds periodic iPod volume testing sessions at the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center in efforts to prevent substantial—and permanent—hearing loss.
