The Psychoacoustic Check: A Preferred Method for Audiometric Room Quietness Certification in South African Occupational Health

AbstractThis white paper advocates for the adoption of an Psychoacoustic Check as the preferred, scientifically robust, and practical method for verifying audiometric room quietness in South African occupational health settings. Traditional physical sound level measurements (e.g., SANS 10182) for room certification, particularly for mobile units,… Read More »The Psychoacoustic Check: A Preferred Method for Audiometric Room Quietness Certification in South African Occupational Health

Determining OSHA-Compliant Maximum Permissible Ambient Noise Levels (MPANLs) for the Kuduwave Audiometer (Utilizing Foam Eartips)

Abstract:   This white paper investigates the determination of OSHA-compliant Maximum Permissible Ambient Noise Levels (MPANLs) for the Kuduwave audiometer when used with foam eartips. It reviews OSHA’s baseline MPANLs (29 CFR 1910.95 Appendix D, Table D-1) and the more current ANSI S3.1-1999 (R2018) standard,… Read More »Determining OSHA-Compliant Maximum Permissible Ambient Noise Levels (MPANLs) for the Kuduwave Audiometer (Utilizing Foam Eartips)
