Improving Ear Protection
Challenge:Discovery
Category:Intermediate
Region:Halifax
City:Halifax, NS
School:Fountain Academy of the Sacred Heart
Abstract:A computer run test was used to prove that there is not a direct relationship between the amount of ear protection used, and sound localization capabilities (it matters where the protection is positioned). Response times for front/back sound localization were shown to be greater than response times for left/right sound localization. Subjects were shown to have low front/back sound localization capabilities with standard ear protection.
