title: Earplugs--a computer program for simulation of personal hearing protection devices.
abstract: Earplugs is a program to allow predictive evaluation of earplugs and earmuffs. Written in Basic for the Apple II+, it is translatable into all other versions of Basic. The program allows the user to compare the attenuation capabilities of any earplug versus the environmental octave band analysis for the workplace in question. This version of the program provides a plot of the results.
