ABSTRACT:
An earplug uses damping to render unimportant a Helmholtz resonance between the acoustic mass intrinsic to a sound channel thereof and the compliance of air in the earcanal unimportant, in combination with an external structure coupled to the sound channel to increase response characteristics at higher frequencies in a predictable and well controlled manner in order to provide a highly desireable uniform frequency response.
