PDF_The Noise Manual, 6th edition – Topic 17: Auditory Situation Awareness and Speech Communication in Noise

Select only what you need from The Noise Manual, 6th edition with AIHA's new topic bundles! This bundle includes Chapter 17 from the full text, plus the cover, front matter, table of contents, symbols and abbreviations, and appendices.

In Chapter 17: Auditory Situation Awareness and Speech Communication in Noise, learn about the abilities that make up functional hearing to assess auditory fitness and determine ways to improve communication in a particular environment. Check out the excerpt below:

“Imagine a runner nearing the finish line in a road race. Over the sounds of her own breathing and footfalls, she suddenly becomes aware of a faint rhythmic sound increasing in loudness. She recognizes the sound as the footsteps of a competitor. Instantaneously, she determines that the other runner is approaching rapidly from behind and to the right. Realizing that she is about to be overtaken, she sprints to the finish line and crosses it, all without ever seeing her competitor. In this example, the runner’s functional hearing — her ability to detect, recognize, and localize sound, and use that information to develop a response — helped her win the race.”
