(author), Alvarenga, D.L. (author), Comtois, J.M. (author), TNO Technische Menskunde (author)Introduction: Elevated hearing thresholds have been documented in some astronauts after long-term spaceflights although noise levels were lower than those normally associated with noise-induced hearing loss in ground-based operations. The present study was conducted to determine whether prolonged exposure (70 h) to levels (72 dBA) recorded on...article 2004

Kerstholt, J.H. (author), Jansen, N.J.M. (author), van Amelsvoort, A.G. (author), Broeders, A.P.A. (author), TNO Technische Menskunde (author)An experiment was conducted to investigate the reliability of voice lineups. More specifically, the experiment was designed to look into the effects of retention interval (an immediate test or after a week), speech duration (30 or 70 s) and acoustic environment (indoors or indoors and outdoors) on speaker identification accuracy. In addition,...article 2004

(author), Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO (author)Rats were exposed to ethyl benzene at 0, 300, 400 and 550 ppm for 8 hours/day for 5 consecutive days. Three to six weeks after the exposure, auditory function was tested by measuring compound action potentials (CAP) in the frequency range of 1-24 kHz and 2f1-f2 distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) in the frequency range of 4-22.6...article 2000

Steeneken, H.J.M. (author), Houtgast, T. (author), Instituut voor Zintuigfysiologie TNO (author)A physical method for measuring the quality of speech‐transmission channels has been developed. Essentially, the method represents an extension of the Articulation Index (AI) concept, which was developed mainly to account for distortions in the frequency domain (noise, bandpass‐limiting). The underlying concept of the present approach, based on...article 1980

Smoorenburg, G.F. (author), van Heusden, E. (author), Instituut voor Zintuigfysiologie TNO (author)Some preliminary results of a research program on the effects of noise traumata on cochlear functioning are given. Measurements reported here include: the latency of the whole-nerve (compound) action potential (AP), the selectivity of frequency-tuning curves (e.g., the Q10-values) measured for the AP (with a forward-masking technique) and for...article 1979
