While regulations on noise exposure limits in the workplace are generally quite clear, measuring real-life exposure can be challenge. Task- or activity based calculations can be unreliable and may under- or overestimate the actual risk of noise-induced hearing loss. Embedded Acoustics has the tools and expertise for "standard" noise exposure surveys (e.g. conforming to ISO-9612, using dosimeters conforming to IEC-61252), but can also take on more complex studies. For example, situations in which sound produced by headsets needs to be taken into account to compute the overal dose require specialized knowledge and equipment. The same is true if the residual exposure (inside the ear canal) when wearing (custom-moulded) earplug needs to be assessed. Embedded Acoustics has ample experience in such studies in a variety of settings (firing ranges, motorcycle or verhicle noise, aircraft noise and industrial noise). Among our customers we count organizations from law enforcement, defence and a variety of industries.
