Applications

Acoustics in healthcare

Practice with a wall composition of acoustic panels

The problem

In medical practices, clear communication between doctor and patient comes first. Hard, reflective surfaces such as plasterwork, glazing and hard floor finishes lengthen the reverberation time and cause multiple sound reflections. This reduces speech intelligibility and increases vocal strain during consultations, which over time can lead to fatigue and a less comfortable consultation climate for patients and staff alike.

What works

  • Wall compositions in the waiting room.
  • Discreet ceiling panels in consultation and treatment rooms.
  • Easy-to-maintain finish.
