title: [The hygienic ergonomic protection of speech communication over time].
abstract: In the course of the experimental laboratory studies it was found out a significant impairment of the communication following a 2-hour processing of speech signals in conditions of masking noise. In order to diminish the auditory exhaustion in impeded communication the authors created physiologically grounded model of the working and resting regime in accordance to the experimental data, which require the including of two breaks in the first half of the working day, i.e. after a two hour exposition to masking noise. The minimal duration of the break at the end of the second hour (according to the experimental data) must be not less than 10 minutes in order to reach the initial or near to it speech communication. The time of the second break may coincide with the regulated lunch-time. The created working and resting regime was approbated in working conditions at DF "Kremikovtsi". It was found out that following the introduction of the physiological regime of work and rest, the auditory exhaustion decreased which was expressed in lowering of the rate of tone-intensity steps.
