| Abstract |
Annual audiometric examinations over 10 years in male workers exposed to noise in 4 glass factories revealed a C5 dip in many workers irrespective of their age. Older workers generally had hearing loss regardless of the length of exposure. A helmet with 2 earplugs hanging from the visor was designed. The main point of the design is that the hanging earplugs would annoy the worker if they were not worn. |
