Objective: This article presents a comprehensive literature review of past works addressing
Hearing Protection Devices (HPD) comfort and to put them into perspective regarding a …

Background To estimate the prevalence of workplace noise exposure and use of hearing
protection devices (HPDs) at noisy work, NIOSH analyzed 1999–2004 data from the …

It seems reasonable to assume that risk perception in workplaces can influence workers'
behaviour and, consequently, their exposure to some occupational risks, such as the risk of …

With a practical, applied orientation, this book presents and integrates in a single source
important methods and tools used in the fields of industrial engineering, human factors, and …

Scientific literature on high-noise exposure effects is very extensive. Therefore, health and
safety practitioners are aware of those effects and they know, very often, how to avoid it …

Background This study estimated the prevalence of hearing protection device (HPD) non‐
use among US workers exposed to hazardous workplace noise and provided risk estimates …

One of the key interesting features of collaborative robotic applications is the potential to
lighten the worker workload and potentiate better working conditions. Moreover, developing …

Temporal modulation processing is a promising technique for improving the intelligibility and
quality of speech in noise. We propose a speech enhancement algorithm that constructs the …

Purpose Prediction of hearing loss in noisy workplaces is considered to be an important
aspect of hearing conservation program. Artificial intelligence, as a new approach, can be …

1 O estudo da relação entre o trabalho e a saúde implica uma correcta identificação dos
factores ocupacionais em jogo, bem como das suas repercussões, positivas ou negativas …
