PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has published a specific need under the topic area of Control Technology and Personal Protective Equipment for High Risk Occupations to develop an inexpensive hand-held earplug test device based on the NIOSH QuickFit concept. As such, this project, as proposed, has been designed to develop just such a system. Using the QuickFit prototype device as a baseline, Adaptive Technologies is proposing to refine the concept to include functionality and system architecture based on the psychoacoustic response and environmental sensitivities of such a device. As part of the development cycle, testing will be conducted to qualify the performance of the baseline concept technology in representative environments. The human interface design will also be reconsidered to allow for simple, quantitative assessments to be made without concern for misuse or subject cheating. A successful conclusion of the Phase I and Phase II projects associated with this proposed research area will be a field ready insert hearing protection evaluation system that allows self-proctored testing for proper earplug use.

项目总结/摘要 国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）发布了一项具体需求， 高风险职业人员的控制技术和个人防护设备主题领域， 基于NIOSH QuickFit概念开发一种廉价的手持式耳塞测试设备。因此，在本发明中， 拟议的这一项目正是为了开发这样一个系统。使用QuickFit 作为基准的原型设备，自适应技术公司建议改进概念，包括 基于心理声学响应和环境的功能和系统架构 这种设备的灵敏度。 作为开发周期的一部分，将进行测试以鉴定基线的性能 典型环境中的概念技术。人机界面设计也将是 重新考虑，以便进行简单的定量评估，而不必担心滥用或 主题作弊与此相关的第一阶段和第二阶段项目的圆满结束 拟议的研究领域将是一个现场准备插入听力保护评估系统，允许 自我监督的测试，以正确使用耳塞。
