Acoustic Effect

Fort Rucker, AL

Combat aviation and ground environments are replete with acoustic hazards which can result in noise-induced hearing loss for exposed soldiers. USAARL acoustic experts make major contributions to the development of effective hearing protection systems. Our researchers explore prevention strategies for noise-induced hearing loss, test new methods for detection of hearing loss in order to augment traditional, less sensitive hearing tests, and explore and develop techniques and methods to enhance speech intelligibility in noisy environments. As new Army systems are developed, our acoustics team evaluates associated hearing hazards.
