| Abstract |
Studies with earmuffs with a foam plastic or a liquid-filled cushion and sweat-absorbing elements are described. The sweat-absorbing elements reduce the sound attenuation capacity when dry and increase it after absorption of sweat. For hot work, preference is given to earplugs, which do not impede skin cooling. If earmuffs must be worn, the use of models incorporating a plastic foam cushion and sweat-absorbing elements is recommended. |
