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

Notas: 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. The ISO standard that adresses auditory warnings for workplaces requires that any auditory alarm or warning be audible all individuals in the workplace including those suffering from a hearing loss and/or wearing hearing protection devices. 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 manipulatedRegistros relacionados: 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.
