This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Republic of Korean Air Force (ROKAF) has introduced Passive Noise Cancellation (PNC) into conventional pilot helmets to deal with the issues above; however, it has not been proven yet that whether PNC is effective. On top of that, compared to cargo/helicopter pilots who can use aviation headset with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), most fighter pilots are still using conventional pilot helmet without ANC except for F-35 fighter pilots. This research aimed (1) to analyze the effect of cockpit noise on hearing health, pilot performance, and aviation safety, (2) to examine the effectiveness of PNC in conventional pilot helmet, (3) to evaluate the usefulness of ANC in military aircrafts, and (4) to suggest the use of ANC in conventional fighter pilot helmet.
Download or read book Noise and Military Service written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-01-20 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine carried out a study mandated by Congress and sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide an assessment of several issues related to noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus associated with service in the Armed Forces since World War II. The resulting book, Noise and Military Service: Implications for Hearing Loss and Tinnitus, presents findings on the presence of hazardous noise in military settings, levels of noise exposure necessary to cause hearing loss or tinnitus, risk factors for noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus, the timing of the effects of noise exposure on hearing, and the adequacy of military hearing conservation programs and audiometric testing. The book stresses the importance of conducting hearing tests (audiograms) at the beginning and end of military service for all military personnel and recommends several steps aimed at improving the military services' prevention of and surveillance for hearing loss and tinnitus. The book also identifies research needs, emphasizing topics specifically related to military service.

Download or read book Hearing Threshold Levels of Non job noise exposed Air Force Personnel written by Lennart L. Kopra and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pure-tone threshold tests were administered with the Rudmose ARJ-3 automatic audiometer to 446 non-job-noise-exposed Air Force personnel. Results showed that (a) the hearing threshold levels of the non-job-exposed personnel were similar to the thresholds of comparable age groups reported in other studies; (b) the hearing levels of the 18- to 24-year-old group differed appreciably from the hearing levels of age groups above 25 years of age; (3) when the thresholds of the left and right ears of the total group were compared, poorer thresholds were noted for the left ears at almost all test frequencies; and (d) previous exposure to gunfire was not significantly related to hearing level.
Download or read book Comparison of Speech Intelligibility in Cockpit Noise Using Sph 4 Flight Helmet with and Without Active Noise Reduction written by National Aeronautics and Space Adm Nasa and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-11 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Active Noise Reduction (ANR) is a new technology which can reduce the level of aircraft cockpit noise that reaches the pilot's ear while simultaneously improving the signal to noise ratio for voice communications and other information bearing sound signals in the cockpit. A miniature, ear-cup mounted ANR system was tested to determine whether speech intelligibility is better for helicopter pilots using ANR compared to a control condition of ANR turned off. Two signal to noise ratios (S/N), representative of actual cockpit conditions, were used for the ratio of the speech to cockpit noise sound pressure levels. Speech intelligibility was significantly better with ANR compared to no ANR for both S/N conditions. Variability of speech intelligibility among pilots was also significantly less with ANR. When the stock helmet was used with ANR turned off, the average PB Word speech intelligibility score was below the Normally Acceptable level. In comparison, it was above that level with ANR on in both S/N levels. Chan, Jeffrey W. and Simpson, Carol A. Unspecified Center NAS2-12425; NAS2-13188; RTOP 505-61-51...

This book was released on 1990 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Active Noise Reduction (ANR) is a new technology which can reduce the level of aircraft cockpit noise that reaches the pilot's ear while simultaneously improving the signal-to-noise ratio for voice communications and other information-bearing sound signals in the cockpit. A miniature, ear-cup mounted ANR system, developed by Royal Aerospace Establishment, Farnborough, United Kingdom, was tested by U.S. Army Aeroflightdynamics Directorate, Simulation and Aircraft Systems Division, Crew Station Research and Development Branch to determine whether speech intelligibility is better for helicopter pilots using ANR compared to a control condition of ANR turned off. The ANR system was installed in a stock Army SPH-4 flight helmet, and tested in a background of recorded AH-1S (Cobra) cockpit noise, using phonetically balanced word lists, per MIL-STD-1472C. Two signal-to-noise ratios (S/N), representative of actual cockpit conditions, were used: 0 dB and +10 dB for the ratio of the speech to cockpit noise sound pressure levels. Speech intelligibility was significantly better with ANR compared to no ANR for both S/N conditions. Variability of speech intelligibility among pilots was also significantly less with ANR. When the stock helmet was used with ANR turned off, the average PB word speech intelligibility score was below the Normally Acceptable level, per MIl-STD-1472C in the 0 dB S/N levels and exceeded the Exceptionally High Intelligibility level with S/N +10 dB. Keywords: Cockpit communications, Active noise reduction.

Download or read book Day to day Stability of the Auditory Threshold in Noise exposed and Non noise exposed Air Force Personnel written by Lennart L. Kopra and published by . This book was released on 1959 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short-term cumulative temporary threshold shift in noise-exposed Air Force personnel was investigated. Daily pure-tone audiometric tests were administered on five consecutive mornings to three groups of men. Twenty-seven flight-line men had noise exposure during the test week; 24 flight-line men had no noise exposure during test week; 52 men had non-flight-line jobs. Analysis of audiometric data showed that: (a) Most mean thresholds in the three groups on Tuesday through Friday were better than mean thresholds on Monday. Improvement in measured auditory sensitivity during the test week is interpreted as indicative of a learning effect. (b) Intra-subject variability in thresholds at 4000 cps and at 6000 cps was not related to threshold sensitivity. (c) No significant cumulative short-term temporary threshold shift occurred among the noise-exposed men during the five-day test period.

Gasaway and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report describes the current method used by the U.S. Air Force to identify significant amounts of threshold shift (comparison of current with reference audiogram) among persons who may be experiencing early stages of permanent sensorineural noise-induced hearing loss. This study used the audiograms of 26,756 personnel who routinely work in noise and compared the two current USAF threshold shift criteria with four single experimental criteria: (1) 20 dB TS at any frequency, either ear; (2) 20 dB TS at 2000, 3000, or 4000 Hz, either ear; (3) 15 dB TS at any frequency, either ear; and (4) average of 10 dB at 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz, either ear.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was designed to describe the hearing levels of both flight nurses and aeromedical technicians over time. A computer printout was received from the USAF Hearing Conservation Registry which depicted a three year period as the longest consecutive period with a sufficient population. From the data received, 60 aeromedical technicians' and 62 flight nurses' hearing levels were examined. Both flight nurses and aeromedical technicians showed stable hearing levels with no apparent hearing threshold shift to indicate noise-induced hearing loss.
