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

Sound Attenuation in Audiometric Testing: A Review of Single-Walled Booths and Boothless Technologies for Occupational Hearing Screening

Abstract   This white paper investigates the sound attenuation performance of typical single-walled, small audiometric test booths and an emerging boothless audiometry system (Kuduwave), specifically focusing on the 125-8000 Hz frequency range critical for comprehensive occupational hearing screening. Accurate hearing assessment in workplace environments is… Read More »Sound Attenuation in Audiometric Testing: A Review of Single-Walled Booths and Boothless Technologies for Occupational Hearing Screening
