The performance of circumaural hearing protectors by dosimetry
Journal of Occupational Medicine. : Official Publication of the Industrial Medical Association

Abstract:
The performance of earmuffs in the actual working environment was studied with two modified dosimeters. It was found that personal hearing protection, at least with earmuffs, is a potentially adequate method of protection against noise-induced hearing loss in most industrial working situations. Most of the problems involving the use of hearing protectors in a hearing conservation program can be overcome by education and proper fitting.
