Abstract:SummaryThe performance of hearing protectors can be assessed in situ by measuring the sound pressure inside the ear canal following the Microphone In Real Ear (MIRE)p rotocol. Thus acustom-made earplug has been designed with an inner bore, allowing the insertion of the MIRE measurement microphone. However, the actual exposure levelcan only be accurately predicted if the relationship, henceforth called transfer function, between the sound levelatthe microphone and at the eardrum is known.
