Abstract
A method for using an earpiece () in a work environment is provided. The earpiece () attenuates sound from the work environment to the user's ear. The earpiece () includes an ear canal microphone () for measuring a sound pressure level in an ear canal of the user. Sound pressure levels are measured periodically while in the work environment. Each measured sound pressure levels is stored in memory () of the earpiece with time and location information. The sound pressure level information is downloaded to a database () when the earpiece is removed from the user ear for recharging. The sound pressure level information is analyzed and any potential noise compliance issues in the work environment are identified.
