Compilation of Supporting Data for Auditory 4.5 Model of Impulse Noise Injury

Abstract

The Joint Intermediate Force Capabilities Office (JIFCO) supports modeling of injury risk for weapons in its portfolio. Temporary and permanent threshold shift (TTS and PTS) are injuries that can occur upon exposure to loud sounds, such as those produced by flashbangs. Among the models in JIFCO's portfolio is Auditory 4.5, which predicts TTS and PTS caused by impulse sounds. Auditory 4.5 was built using multiple data sources, including both human rifle noise exposure data and a large set of chinchilla injury data. As part of an analysis of the uncertainties built into auditory injury models available from JIFCO, these data were digitized from their original sources and compiled. This document describes the consolidated data set, which is available as an attachment in DTIC.
