AFFIDAVIT OF KARL D. KRYTER I, Karl D. Kryter, being on oath, depose and say as follows:
1, I have a Ph. D. degree from the University of Rochester in psychology and physiology. I have been engaged in and directed research on the effects of sound and noise on hearing and human behavior at Harvard University, Bolt, Beranek and Newman, Inc., Stanford Research Institute and at present as a staff scientist at SRI International. A statement of my professional qualifications is attached hereto and marked "A".
880926015e 880917 PDR ADOCK 05000443 Q PDR
- 2. I have served on and have been chairmen of committees and werking groups of the National Academy of Science, the American and International Standards organizations, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the World Health organization. These groups and committees have been concerned with specifying guidelines and standards for the protection of hearing and exposure to intense sound and noise. I have conducted and published a number of research studies on temporary and. permanent hearing loss from l
exposure to sounds and noise. I an author of the bcoks: "The Effects of Noise on Ifun", 1st Edition, 1970, 2nd Edition, 1985, Academic Press, (New York and London). These books were sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, Surgeon
~
General of the Army, National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Department of Transportation.
' 3. The purpose of this affidavit is to address allegations in Contention A.7 regarding hearing damage from siren operation.
i
- 4. The effects of noise on hearing may be measured in torna of temporary or permanent changes in hearing sensitivity. ,
4 1
l
1 1
- 5. Temporary auditory fatigue, or threshold shift i in hearing sensitivity, from exposure to sound is evidenced by the increase in intensity (volume) required to make audiometer test tones barely audible in the absolute quiet after, as compared to before, exposure to the intense sound.
It is standard practice to measure the required decibel, dB, increase, if any, 2 minutes after cessation of the exposure.
The result is called TTS2 and is a standard method of expraset 1 temporary threshold shift in hearing.
6, The second measured effect of noise on hearing is the noise induced permanent threshold shift, NIPTS, that occurs to pure-tone hearing sensitivity in the quiet as the result of long-term exposure to intense sound and noises.
The basis far these results come from threshold measurements made, for the most part, on men who have been exposed to noise in industrial environments and the military services.
Technical standards and guidelines have been developed on the basis of NIPTS data that specify the apparent risks to l hearing from exposure to occupational noises. In general, )
NIPTS is the result of chronic, i.e. , long term, exposures.
)
- 7. I have been requested to compare, in terms of TTS2 and NIPTS, two siren systems with the following characteristics:
1 i
I
_ . _ - . _ - _ , _ . _ . . _ _ _ _ _ _ . _ _ . , _ . _ , , . , . ,. _ ,y
Siren System I Siren System II Maximum sound level received:
123 dB 134 dB at 100 ft. (2) 1000 !!z 550 Hz Non-rotating Rotating 2.5 times per minute Siten 20 feet above listener (2)
Duration of sound 3/1.5 Three minutes duration of sound Minutes (1) 1 (1) Three minute duration per NUREG-J654. One and a half rinute duration per BBN 4300.
(2) This dystem will result in a maximum aound level receivsd of 131 dB por Louis Sutherland's affidavit.
- 8. An e:tposuru L either siren systs> Vould nJt bo expected to cause any perwanent hearing damiga (NIPTS).
- 9. The temporary thresh 0ld shift (TTS2) for the average listener from an exposure to Siren System I would be about is dD/12 dE. This temporary hearing }psa would be perceived as winar and last.only for a
--m
short time.There would be no TTS2 effect expected from exposure to Suen System II.
