Summary

This study looks at how temporary noise exposure at levels allowed by law (around 85 dB) affects hearing and thinking in 40 healthy adults aged 18-35. Participants will be exposed to different noise patterns, including with rest breaks, to see if breaks help reduce auditory fatigue. The goal is to better understand noise-related fatigue and improve safety recommendations for workers.
