Development of Method for Measurement Sound Pressure Level to Use Earphone

Article Preview

Abstract:

Earphone use has skyrocketed due to the widespread dissemination of portable acoustic-apparatus. As the result, hearing loss due to noise-induced is becoming a big social problem. As the existing method, warning message is only used to prevent the hard of hearing according to the earphone use. However, it is hard for users to know the effect of the hours of earphone use and volume on their hearing, and control the earphone use by themselves. Therefore, in this paper, the method is suggested that users measure the effect of the time and volume of earphone use on their hearing with the simple experimental equipment and program. The method suggested in this paper is based on the simple experimental equipment to set up the similar environment to the real ear, and the program to find out the effect on hearing with the measured data.
