Elliott Berger, of Aearo Company has created two audio demonstrations. The first, is one of the best demonstrations of hearing loss available today, and the second is an interesting and compelling demonstration that explains the concept of flat-and moderate-attenuation hearing protectors and lets you audition their characteristics and benefits.

Both programs are available using Windows Media Player or Real Audio, or can be requested directly from Aearo on a CD or audio cassette by contacting aearo@mmcweb.com. The internet versions allow you to hear high quality audio over the internet with only a 56k or better connection. However the dialup Windows Media and Real Audio versions lack the full fidelity that is provided on the broadband or the CD/cassette formats. The audio programs are available using RealAudio and Windows Media Player.
