Nicholas Hawes, a BFA medical illustrations major from the Cleveland Institute of Art, created original illustrations for many of ATL's training and outreach products and presentations. Nick's BFA thesis on the subject of noise-induced hearing loss resulted in two 17-foot long murals that now hang outside the Audiology and Hearing Conservation Clinic at NASA Johnson Space Center. These murals, which depict the physiological effects of noise-induced hearing loss on the inner ear, are used in hearing conservation-related training for flight crews and flight medicine professionals.
