Abstract

Noise induced hearing loss (NIHS) is caused by impaired hearing cells due to abrupt severe noise or continuous environmental noise. The prevention of NIHS is very important, because the impaired hearing cells are not recoverable. There are some kinds of devices for hearing protection, but people often resist the use of hearing protection devices because they have some difficulties during conversation in wearing devices. To solve that problem, a small acoustic filter can be used for hearing protector. In this paper, we analyzed the characteristics of small acoustic filters which vary according to change of length and diameter using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). From analysis results, transmission characteristics of the designed small acoustic filters are suitable for communication and the general tendencies are same as acoustic experiment results of small acoustic filters. Also, it can be accomplished that various transmission characteristics of small acoustic filters according to the characteristic of environment noise.
