2. Hearing protection device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_protection_device

   A hearing protection device, also known as a HPD, is an ear protection device worn in or over the ears while exposed to hazardous noise and provide hearing protection to help prevent noise-induced hearing loss. HPDs reduce the level of the noise entering the ear.

3. Hearing protection fit-testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_protection_fit-testing

   Wearing or inserting the hearing protection device correctly so it seals the wearer's ear canal, using the "roll-pull-hold" method for foam earplugs, and ensuring earmuffs create an unbroken seal around each ear. [7] Fit-testing hearing protection can facilitate an appropriate choice of hearing protection, and allow for the professional ...

5. Pure-tone audiometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure-tone_audiometry

   This prevents the non-test ear from detecting the test signal presented to the test ear. The threshold of the test ear is measured at the same time as presenting the masking noise to the non-test ear. Thus, thresholds obtained when masking has been applied, provide an accurate representation of the true hearing threshold level of the test ear. [13]

6. Real ear measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_ear_measurement

   Real ear measurement is the measurement of sound pressure level in a patient's ear canal developed when a hearing aid is worn. It is measured with the use of a silicone probe tube inserted in the canal connected to a microphone outside the ear and is done to verify that the hearing aid is providing suitable amplification for a patient's hearing loss. [2]

7. Hearing range - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range

   Logarithmic chart of the hearing ranges of some animals [1] [2] Hearing range describes the frequency range that can be heard by humans or other animals, though it can also refer to the range of levels. The human range is commonly given as 20 to 20,000 Hz, although there is considerable variation between individuals, especially at high ...

9. Earplug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earplug

   Using both ear muffs (whether passive or active) and earplugs simultaneously results in maximum protection, but the efficacy of such combined protection relative to preventing permanent ear damage is inconclusive, with evidence indicating that a combined noise reduction ratio (NRR) of only 36 dB (C-weighted) is the maximum possible using ear ...
