Ear response

Queensland, Australia (Govett Atherden 1987). That study showed strong rabbit-ear responses in surface soils in commodity elements and elevated H " in... 

Figures 28.9, 28.10, and 28.11 show this relationship for humans. The figures differ in the body orientation relative to the incoming shock. Figure 28.12 shows the 1% and 50% probabilities of adverse ear responses in relation to pressure and pulse duration for three different levels of ear injury. Level 1 consists of minor damage and/or healable small tears or rupture of the tympanic membrane (ear drum) level 2 for tearing of the membrane that will result in permanent hearing loss and level 3, which includes severe rupture of the membrane along with inner ear damage.
