| Abstract |
An objective measurement procedure for determining soundproofing properties of hearing protectors was developed using noise measurements in an artificial head. The method gave satisfactory results for cup-type protectors. Corrections are needed for the use of the method on plug-type protectors, and in the case of transmission through bone tissue. The method is an alternative to the subjective evaluation of the soundproofing properties of hearing protectors described in ISO Standard 4869 (CIS 82-378). |
