Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Audibility of reverse alarms under hearing protectors for normal and hearing-impaired listeners

Notes: Sumario: The question of whether or not an individual suffering from a hearing loss is capable of hearing an auditory alarm or warning is an extremely important industrial safety issue.

Research was undertaken to determine how the ability to detect an alarm or warning signal changed for individuals with normal hearing and two levels of hearing loss as the levels of masking noise and alarm were manipulatedRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 38, nº 11, November, 1995 ; p. 2281-2299Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Diseño Alarmas Señalización acústica Protectores auditivos Ruido Nivel de ruido Espacio de trabajo Otros autores: Casali, John G.
