  • HEARING PROTECTION DEVICES
    Publication number: 20240225903
    Abstract: A hearing protection device (500) arranged to provide an acoustic barrier is disclosed. The hearing protection device (500) includes a microphone (502) arranged to measure sound behind the acoustic barrier. The device (500) determines whether a sound level characteristic of the sound measured by the microphone (502) is above a predetermined threshold. When the sound level characteristic measured by the microphone (502) is above the predetermined threshold, the device (500) compares the sound level characteristic of the sound behind and outside the acoustic barrier to determine an attenuation of the device (500). If the determined attenuation is below a cut-off level of attenuation, the device (500) provides an alert.
