摘要： A device and method for the continuous monitoring of otoacoustic emissions (OAE) levels on an individual worker uses as a pair of earpieces each featuring an external microphone, an internal microphone and a pair of miniature receivers. An adaptive filtering noise rejection processing of the measured distortion product OAE (DPOAE) is used to further improve the Signal-to-Noise ratio in frequencies where passive isolation remains insufficient. The adaptive filtering noise rejection technique relies on a Normalized Least-Mean-Square (NLMS) algorithm that uses the ipsilateral external microphone and the contralateral internal microphone to reject the noise from the measured DPOAE signals for each in-ear OAE probe. A DPOAE signal extraction algorithm provides for an increase in results reliability on a greater dynamic range in DPOAE magnitudes than known methods of DPOAE signal extraction. The device and method is suitable for the continuous monitoring of workers' hearing capabilities in industrial noises up to 75 dB(A).

摘要： A manually operable dispenser for dispensing earplugs is provided. An exemplary dispenser includes a first dispensing mechanism portion and a second dispensing mechanism portion that interacts with the first dispensing mechanism portion during rotation of the handle. Interaction between the first dispensing mechanism portion and the second dispensing mechanism affects a rotational resistance (τ) at the handle such that rotational resistance (τ) varies between a maximum rotational resistance (τmax) and a minimum rotational resistance (τmin) as the handle is rotated by a user.

摘要： The application relates to an audio processing device comprising a) at least one input unit for providing time-frequency representation Y(k,n) of an electric input signal representing a time variant sound signal consisting of target speech signal components S(k,n) from a target sound source TS and noise signal components N(k,n) from other sources than the target sound source, where k and n are frequency band and time frame indices, respectively, b) a noise detection and/or reduction system configured to b1) determine an a posteriori signal to noise ratio estimate γ(k,n) of said electric input signal, and to b2) determine an a priori target signal to noise signal ratio estimate ζ(k,n) of said electric input signal from said a posteriori signal to noise ratio estimate γ(k,n) based on a recursive decision directed algorithm. The a priori target signal to noise signal ratio estimate ζ(k,n) for the n th timeframe is determined from the a priori target signal to noise signal ratio estimate ζ(k,n-1) for the (n-1) th timeframe and the a posteriori signal to noise ratio estimate γ(k,n) for the n th timeframe. The application further relates to a method of of estimating an a priori signal to noise ratio. Thereby improved noise reduction may be provided.
