Book excerpt: To satisfy the Army's need for realistic safe limits for heavy weapons noise while wearing hearing protection, a 2-1/2 year study was undertaken. Using active duty military volunteers, 64 subjects established that the auditory system could be adequately protected with the RACAL muff from one to three exposures of the reverberant waveforms obtained from a rocket launcher out of an enclosure. Thus, nonauditory considerations set the exposure limits for this type of waveform. This research was accomplished under Task Order 1. Using 27 subjects, two types of nonlinear (increasing attenuation with level) hearing protection were evaluated using 6 to 100 exposures of a freefield waveform of 1.5-ms duration. With the limited number of subjects, neither plug was adequate to protect the auditory system from this type of waveform. Several subjects had a temporary threshold shift (TTS) of their hearing of more than 25 dB. The compressible foam plug did appear to provide adequate protection up to the auditory limits for this waveform. This research was accomplished under Task Order 4.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explosion and Blast-Related Injuries is an authoritative text that brings together diverse knowledge gained from both the experience of clinicians treating blast casualties and the insights of scientists obtained from research and modeling of blast exposures. By providing information on explosion and blast injury patterns, as well as the mechanism of blast-induced injuries, it is a useful reference for both physicians and researchers. With contributions by experts from around the globe, the book covers topics such as the epidemiology of blast and explosion injury, pathology and pathophysiology, and the modeling and mechanism of injury. Finally, this book might stimulate additional studies into ways to improve our current mass casualty response systems.* Contains contributions from experts who had first hand experience dealing with explosion and blast injuries. * Provides a diverse global experience derived from both military operations and terrorist attacks in civilian settings from the US, Europe and the Middle East. * Covers such topics as epidemiology of blast and explosion injury, pathology and pathophysiology, modeling and mechanism of injury, and finally presents the global experiences of blast injury and mass casualty management.
