Review of measurement methods for hearing protector attenuation

The attenuation degree labelled on hearing protectors is based on internationally set standards. The attenu- ation is measurement in laboratories using methodology of real-ear attenuation at threshold (REAT), microphone in-real ear (MIRE) and acoustics test feature (ATF). The measured attenuation ga...
