A 3D-printed headform comprising a realistic ear canal was developed to don both earmuff- and earplug-style protection for the ear. This headform was exposed to shocktube air blasts ranging from a blast simulator of 14 kPa to 62 kPa nominal overpressure, meant to be representative of potentially injurious overpressure exposure. While ear overpressure profiles observed between the two types of measuring methodology (flush-mounted sensor vs. realistic ear with canal) diverged, the detailed ear canal did allow for the evaluation of different types of earplug, earmuff and combination protection. Results indicate that different earplug-style protection yielded similar levels of protection, regardless of type. Finally, the combination of types of ear protection used in concert did not yield significantly enhanced protection.
