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.

项目摘要/摘要 美国国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）已发表了特定的需求 控制技术的主题领域和个人保护设备的高风险职业 根据NIOSH QuickFit概念，开发廉价的手持耳塞测试设备。像这样， 据建议，该项目旨在开发这样的系统。使用QuickFit 原型设备作为基线，自适应技术提议完善该概念以包括 基于心理声音响应和环境的功能和系统体系结构 这种设备的敏感性。 作为开发周期的一部分，将进行测试以确保基线的性能 代表环境中的概念技术。人类界面设计也将是 重新考虑以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成功结论 拟议的研究领域将是一个现场插入听力保护评估系统，该系统允许 自预插的测试以适当使用耳塞。
