Influence of ear canal occlusion and air-conduction feedback on speech production in noise [PDF]

, 2014
Millions of workers are exposed to high noise levels on a daily basis. The primary concern for these individuals is the prevention of noise-induced hearing loss, which is typically accomplished by wearing of some type of personal hearing protector ...

Statistical Results of Shallow Water Ambient Noise around the Korean Peninsula

, 2003
Oceanic ambient noise in the shallow water surrounding the Korean peninsula was statistically analyzed. The ambient noise was measured at 13 sites less than 200 m deep in the shallow water surrounding the Korean Peninsula for 9 years from 1990 to 1998 ...
