摘要： A system for monitoring sound pressure levels at the ear includes an ambient sound microphone for receiving ambient sounds and an ear canal microphone for producing audio signals as a function of ambient sound received at the ambient sound microphone and sound signal received from an associated personal audio device. A logic circuit is operatively associated with the ASM and ECR calculates a total SPL_Dose experienced by the ear at a time t. In one exemplary embodiment the total SPL_Dose is calculated by determining estimated SPL_Dose for periods Δt. The logic circuit then may then select an action parameter in response to the Total SPL_Dose.

摘要： At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to a system for monitoring a sound pressure level dose at an ear which includes an audio transducer adapted to be placed within an ear to receive sound at the ear. The audio transducer outputs a sound signal. A sound level threshold detector receives the sound signal and determines whether a sound pressure level of the sound signal is at a minimum level and outputs a sound pressure level signal corresponding to a sound pressure level of the sound pressure level when the sound pressure level is not at the minimum level. A clock calculates a time period during which the sound pressure level is not at the minimum threshold level. A listening fatigue calculator receives the sound signal and the time period and determines whether a cumulative effect of exposure to the sound at the ear over a monitored time period will cause harm to the ear. At least a portion of the system is disposed in situ at the ear.
