This presentation starts with discussing old school vs. new school noise
dosimetry techniques, then helps the audience understand the useful noise
dosimeter results as this is widely misunderstood. The audience will then
learn the limitations of noise dosimeters, with respect to impulse and impact
sound. The course then provides solutions for extended work shift noise
OELs, a discussion of hearing protection derating, and finally shares noise
dose sample results from an AIHA local section skeet shooting event. This
presentation was part of the #1 Voted PDC in 2024 at AIHA Connect.
