Safety Limit Warning Levels for the Avoidance of Excessive Sound Amplification to Protect Against Further Hearing Loss

Safety Limit Warning Levels for the Avoidance of Excessive Sound Amplification to Protect Against Further Hearing Loss

Objective: To determine safe output sound pressure levels (SPL) for sound amplification devices to preserve hearing sensitivity after usage. Design: A mathematical model consisting of the Modified Power Law (MPL) (Humes & Jesteadt, 1991) combined with equations for predicting temporary threshold...
