A ready -made hearing protection device (HPD) is effective on preventing noise induced hearing loss (NIHS), but workers in noisy environment often resist to wear it. Because the ready -made products are uncomfortable and are hard to understand the others. To prevent hearing loss effectively it is important that workers keep wearing a HPD. So we proposed a made -to -order HPD in which a small acoustic filter is inserted. And we researched about the actual efficiency of a new developed custom-made HPD using a small size acoustic filter. Also, we found out that workers are more satisfied with new development than a former protection device from a workers' response.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
