摘要： An apparatus adapted to be worn in an environment in which unsafe noise levels may be present for the purpose of continuously monitoring the noise level impinging upon the ear(s) of a user. The noise levels are monitored via a microphone housed within a hearing protective device, and located such that the noise level measured by the microphone is representative of the noise level impinging upon the ear(s) of the user when the hearing protective device is being worn in either a primary or secondary position. The noise level is recorded along with its duration to calculate a cumulative noise dose for an individual user, and to warn the user of when the noise dose exceeds a preset level. The apparatus further provides for a means of transmitting the noise level and dose information to a data storage/retrieval device such as a PC for maintaining a history of noise exposure for the individual user of the device. A method of using an apparatus as described, or a similar device, to continuously monitor an individual's noise exposure is also disclosed.
