Scott et al,
Let's remember that the sound pressure requirements in 60065 are the
response of the TC to the Euro efforts to write mandatory, legal
requirements to limit hearing damage to kids who wear the earbuds and listen
to loud music all day long.
There was considerable discussion on the issue - both technical and
legalese. In the end it seemed prudent to write the requirements as much
along the line of the legislative requirements as possible - not any more
expansive nor any more narrow. This requirement is intended to show good
faith between the TC and the regulators in hopes of minimizing or
eliminating the need for such legislation.
Certainly, not everyone in the group feels the same need for such
requirements; in my opinion,folks ought to be personally responsible for
their own behavour and bear the consequences rather than have a nanny-state
try to take care of everything.
Thanx for entering into the discussion.
