Whistles May Harm Hearing, Study Shows
As a basketball referee in his spare time, Nathan Williams thought the whistles were unnecessarily loud. At one all-day high school tournament, he wore a dosimeter that measured his noise exposure. The tournament "maxed out the device," Williams said. In conversation, his fellow officials joked about their hearing loss, sometimes known as referee's ear. Williams, then a graduate student in audiology, did not see the humor. A study recently done by Williams and his professor Gregory Flamme shows that referees were much more likely to report symptoms of ringing in the ears and trouble hearing than people of the same age in the general population.

Survey Results To Thought Provoking Video (and new survey)
At the end of the traditional fall field hockey season in the USA, a video was posted by a field hockey fan on YouTube showing that play was restarted following a goal while the team that scored the goal was in an NFL-like huddle and not ready to defend. UmpireHockey.com decided to link to the video and allow readers to comment on the event. The decision to ask whether the umpire made the right or wrong decision to blow his/her whistle was subsequently applauded and criticized by members of the field hockey community. Share your opinion on that and whether time should be stopped after goals in field hockey.
