Listening for machinery malfunctions in noise while wearing ear muffs / S.E. Forshaw.D68-25/8-1977E-PDF

"It is generally believed by personnel who work in ships' engine and boiler rooms that the noise attenuation provided by an effective ear muff will adversely affect their ability to detect those sounds that indicate real or potential machinery malfunction.
