Development of a new artificial head for impulse noise attenuation measurements of hearing protective devices [PDF]
While psychoacoustical methods to evaluate the sound attenuation of heating protective devices have been standardized (CSA Z94.2-M1984; ASA STD 1-1975) and proved to be practical for continuous noise, no standard exists for impulse noise. Microphone-based techniques seem to provide the best avenue for the measurement of impulse noise attenuation at the

Conventional stethoscope is a useful clinical examination tool to aid evaluation of the underlying clinical condition, especially respiratory and cardiac illnesses, even before definitive imaging studies are performed. Auscultation with a stethoscope becomes highly challenging when wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) because the hood of the PPE

Abstract A series of experiments were performed to determine the dose reduction afforded to radiosensitive organs in the head and neck by various protective devices. These included spectacles with plastic, standard glass, photochromic and lead-glass lenses, a thyroid collar and a lead-acrylic face mask.
