  • Dynamic time-weighted systems and methods for management of acoustic exposure
    Patent number: 11437966
    Abstract: Workplace safety is a principal concern in many environments. Protecting user ears from damage due to extended exposure to unacceptably high sound volume serves as an important component to workplace safety. Monitoring a device, such as a phone, utilized by a user often provides an incomplete picture of the sound level presented to the user. As provided herein, monitoring a user's sound exposure on one device may cause the sound level presented to the user from a second device to become limited. Additionally, over time the sound level limits may be adjusted based on the cumulative historic sound exposure. As a result, the user may avoid exposure to unacceptably high sound levels originating from more than one source and/or over an extended period of time.
    Type: Grant
