The Difference in Protection Efficiency Between Earplugs and Earmuffs: An Investigation Performed at a Workplace
The hearing thresholds of shipyard workers have been measured with a Békésy sweep audiometer. The number of employees at different workplaces is so large that it is possible to select groups of workers of specified ages who have been employed by the shipyard for many years. These workers have used e...

| description | The hearing thresholds of shipyard workers have been measured with a Békésy sweep audiometer. The number of employees at different workplaces is so large that it is possible to select groups of workers of specified ages who have been employed by the shipyard for many years. These workers have used either earplugs of earmuffs for 5-10 years and have also been working all the time in almost the same noise environment. Three ways of investigation have been used to observe differences in the hearing levels between 'plug-men' and 'muff-men'. All three show a greater hearing impairment for 'muff-men' than for 'plug-men'. Under certain conditions earplugs provide the most effective protection although the attenuation is higher for earmuffs than for earplugs. |
