Use of Animal Test Data in the Development of a Human Auditory Hazard Criterion for Impulse Noise, Part 2

Abstract

Hearing loss and sensory cell loss data, obtained from 909 chinchillas exposed to one of 137 different impulse noise or blast wave exposure paradigms, were statistically analyzed. The objective was to extract relations between the effects of the exposure on the auditory system (effects metrics) and metrics used to characterize the blast wave exposure. The results of the tests are presented in this second part.
