NAS/NRC Interagency Support: Committee on Hearing, Bioacoustics & Biomechanics

听力、生物声学和生物力学委员会(CHABA)是美国国家科学院国家研究理事会的一个常设委员会，得到了几个联邦机构的支持。它就涉及试听和演讲的问题向赞助机构提供分析和建议，包括生理和身体声学、神经生理学、心理物理学、知觉、工程和设备、助听器、言语理解和环境对听力的影响等问题。该委员会由12名成员组成，帮助选择和确定若干工作组处理赞助者关心的具体专题的活动。这项工作的结果发表在可供科学家、公众和工业界使用的报告中，并对听觉科学的许多领域产生影响。

The Committee on Hearing, Bioacoustics & Biomechanics (CHABA) is a standing committee of the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, which is supported by contributions from several federal agencies. It provides analysis and advice to those sponsoring agencies, on issues involving the audition and speech, including questions of physiological and physical acoustics, neurophysiology, psychophysics, perception, engineering and equipment, hearing aids, speech comprehension, and environmental effects on hearing. The committee of twelve members helps select and define activities of several working groups dealing with specific topics of concern to the sponsors. Results of this work are published in reports available to scientists, the public, and to industry, and have impact on many areas of auditory science.
