| Abstract |
With the aid of a relatively simple experimental apparatus, the author tested the real-ear attenuation afforded at 500Hz by both standard-type and custom-made, moulded earplugs. It was found that earplugs in general did not afford adequate protection against excessive noise, although moulded-type earplugs were superior if properly fitted. For these reasons, earplugs should be tested individually after fitting and periodically thereafter. |
