Spectral attenuation and wearability of circumaural hearing protectors as influenced by design attributes and work-related activity

<p>Hearing protection devices (HPDs), a widely used countermeasure against noise-induced hearing loss, are laboratory-tested for their attenuation (noise reduction) capabilities. Unfortunately, laboratory tests overestimate the in-workplace performance of the devices, potentially leading to in...
