Option 1

 * Article title
 * Environmental Noise


 * Article Evaluation
 * The information involved in this article is relevant to the current topic at hand, and relates to information that we have begun to discuss in class. The whole article is written in neutral terms in relation to the facts that are needed to explain the topic at hand. There is not neutrality in relation to the harmful events of environmental noise and its harmful effects. Each claim that is made throughout the article has a citation connected to it, to ensure that the information is coming from a good source. These sources seem to be secondary sources and make claims that have been backed by previous research. The article covers some other countries and their environmental noise, however there is not a whole lot of information involved within those subtopics.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Hearing Protection Device


 * Article Evaluation
 * The information that is involved in this article is relevant to the current topic at hand and relates to information that we have been discussing throughout class. The article is written in neutral terms and each section relates to the topic. The article is well designed and the topics flow well with each other. The information is also laid out so that people who do not know much about HPD, can understand and be able to follow what is being said throughout the article. The information is cited very well and seem to be credible sources. The section on recommended use is the section that has information that could be difficult to understand, however the information available is explained in simplistic ways. I think there could be information added about the different environments in which HPD are used and why they are used in those different situations.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Hearing Protection Fit-Testing


 * Article Evaluation
 * The information that is involved in this article is relevant to the current topic at hand and relates to the information that we have begun discussing in class, and will continue to be discussing in class. The article is written in neutral terms and has simple, easy to understand explanations of the topics. Fit-testing is something that people not involved in the audiology world, may not understand so it is laid out to have those people understand what it is and why it is done. The sources in the article seem to be credible and are from secondary sources which helps for the information to  be backed up by multiple places of research. I think there could be more information  regarding the training of the fit-testing equipment and what exactly occurs during that time frame. I think some of the companies that do fit-testing could be included in this article.
