Description
The present invention relates to a hearing protector for controlling noise reduction, and more particularly, to a hearing protector having a noise guide hole formed in a hearing protector, a sound filter selectively inserted into the noise guide hole, (Noise reduction), but it can induce the external sound sources required in the field to be audible. Therefore, it can be effectively used in construction sites or military units where noise is frequently generated. Hearing protection.
In general, earplugs are intended to protect the wearer's ear against external noise, and can be distinguished by earplugs for noise isolation, earplugs for winter, and earplugs for waterproofing in water.
Here, the ear plug for noise isolation (hereinafter referred to as "hearing protector") is used to prevent noise generated at a construction site such as a factory or a tunnel from entering the ear of a worker. A stopper, etc. are applied.
However, since the above-mentioned noise-isolating hearing protector blocks the ear of the wearer in order to block the noise, the wearer has to remove the hearing protector to listen to the external sound source in order to smoothly perform the operation besides the noise.
So that there is a problem in that the hearing protector for noise shielding can hardly be used at work sites due to inconvenience of the operation.
In addition, since the conventional noise-isolating hearing protectors are separately stored and managed in pairs, there is a problem that frequent loss occurs in the process of storing and managing, which is somewhat inconvenient for storage and management.
In addition, when the conventional noise-isolating hearing protector is used in construction sites and military units where many dusts are generated, the hearing protector is easily contaminated in the process of detaching, storing, and managing the hearing protector with the hand exposed to the dust , And the use of such unsanitary hearing protectors has caused problems in the use of various diseases.

Since hearing loss due to noise is mainly attributed to high-frequency signals, a frequency filter that attenuates high-frequency signals is required. That is, it is necessary to protect the auditory sense by attenuating the signal sharply from several hundred Hz as shown in [Figure 1] below.
[Figure 1] Characteristics of frequency filter for hearing protection
Such a high-frequency attenuating filter, that is, a low-pass filter, can be realized by connecting a plurality of pipes having different diameters as shown in [Fig. 2].
That is, when a sound wave propagates to a hollow drum, a discontinuity occurs at a portion where the diameter changes, so that a part of the sound wave is reflected and passes through the remaining one. At this time, the reflection ratio depends on the diameter, the material of the wall, and the frequency of the signal. When multiple bars are connected, there will be multiple such reflection surfaces, resulting in a double reflection phenomenon where the reflected sound from one side is reflected from the other side, which allows the reflection and transmission coefficients to change rapidly as a function of frequency .
[Figure 2] Implementation of a low-pass filter with a different diameter for different lengths. Example of a low-pass filter composed of three strands with diameters a 1 , a 2 and a 3 and lengths L 1 , L 2 and L 3
In order to analyze the reflection and transmission of sound in these sound waveguides, the impedance model as shown in [Figure 3] is used.
That is, the sound transmission characteristic in each single region is represented by a characteristic impedance Z n ( n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4). The inherent impedance Z n
. Where ρ is the density of the medium, and v s is the speed of sound.
In addition, Z 0 is the intrinsic impedance of the outer atmosphere, and Z 4 is the intrinsic impedance of the middle ear.
[Figure 3] Transmission-line model of low-pass filter
Where Z 1 , Z 2 and Z 3 are the characteristic impedances of the waveguides whose diameters are a 1 , a 2 and a 3 respectively, Z 0 is the intrinsic impedance of the outer atmosphere, and Z 4 is the middle ear ). ≪ / RTI >
The sound reflection coefficient at the interface between the external air and the frequency filter is
, Where Z in is the impedance that encompasses both the frequency filter and the rest of it
Can be written as. Where k = 2 / = 2f / v s and f is the frequency. Since the sound is not lost inside the drum, the permeability coefficient is
. In other words, the transmittance of the sound transmitted through the various barriers with different radii and materials is a function of the diameter, length and frequency of the barrel. By appropriately adjusting the diameter and length, it is possible to design a high-frequency attenuation filter, that is, a low-pass filter as shown in [Fig. 1].
Therefore, the design of the frequency filter is to determine the diameter and the length of each sound waveguide so that the frequency at which the attenuation starts to appear and the slope thereafter become a desired value. The above formula is very complicated and difficult to design. In practice, however, since the frequency filter must be small enough to be able to enter the earpiece , tan kL can be approximated to kL , and the design of the
