[Objective determinations of individual sound protectors (author's transl)]
Abstract
A method for objective measurements of the sound attenuation provided by ear protectors is described, utilizing a head model which contains all normal human sound properties. The difficulties experienced in localizing sound sources when wearing ear protectors is explained by changing the characteristics of the individual frequency bands.
