SOFT TISSUE CONDUCTION AS A POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTOR TO THE LIMITED ATTENUATION PROVIDED BY HEARING PROTECTION DEVICES

Soft tissue conduction as a possible contributor to the limited attenuation provided by hearing protection devices

Context: Damage to the auditory system by loud sounds can be avoided by hearing protection devices (HPDs) such as earmuffs, earplugs, or both for maximum attenuation.However, the attenuation can be limited by air conduction (AC) leakage around the earplugs and earmuffs by the occlusion effect (OE) and by skull vibrations initiating bone conduction
