Most Comfortable Listening Level and Speech Attenuation by Hearing Protectors.
Hearing protectors attenuate both the background noise and the useful sounds embedded in noise such as the sounds of speech and warning signals. An effective hearing protector is one that attenuates background noise while leaving sufficient energy of speech and warning signals to reach the ear of the worker. At present, however, there are no established criteria for assessing effective change i...
متن کاملRelationship between aided preferred listening level and long-term listening range.
The long-term listening range was defined as extending, at any frequency, from the threshold of audibility to the upper limit of the comfortable loudness range. The relationship between the aided preferred listening level and the long-term listening range was investigated by analyzing data obtained from 16 hearing impaired subjects. Results support a tentative conclusion that the aided preferre...
متن کاملSex differences in whole body gait kinematics at preferred speeds.
Studies on human perception have identified pelvis and torso motion as key discriminators between male and female gaits. However, while most observers would advocate that men and women walk differently, consistent findings and explanations of sex differences in gait kinematics across modern empirical studies are rare. In the present study we evaluated sex differences in whole body gait kinemati...
متن کاملSex differences and similarities in preferred mating arrangements
Over 90% of men and women marry, but as many as 50% of married men and women have affairs. Thus, in a self-reported study of ideal mating arrangements, in which costs associated with infidelity are eliminated, it was hypothesized that men and women would prefer a mating arrangement of monogamy with the option of casual, extra-pair sex. Unexpectedly, men and women (n1⁄4 463) overwhelmingly prefe...
متن کاملAge-Related Differences in Listening Effort During Degraded Speech Recognition.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to quantify age-related differences in executive control as it relates to dual-task performance, which is thought to represent listening effort, during degraded speech recognition. DESIGN Twenty-five younger adults (YA; 18-24 years) and 21 older adults (OA; 56-82 years) completed a dual-task paradigm that consisted of a primary speech recognitio...
