Parliament spaces out microphones after another interpreter is injured

A language interpreter suffered a significant hearing injury due to the Larsen effect, prompting the federal government to adjust setups in the House of Commons and committee rooms.
Changes were ordered by a federal regulator last week to prevent future incidents of the Larsen effect, resulting in rearranged tables in committee rooms, as communicated by House of Commons Speaker Greg Fergus.
The adjustments aim to keep microphones and earpieces farther apart to avoid the sharp feedback that can lead to permanent injuries.
