Preliminary Dosimetry Data

I finally figured out what the issue was with my dosimeter-computer link, and thankfully it was easily resolved. The first few test runs I have are not 100% applicable to the research I'm doing; instead, they were a good way to practice so that my official runs are at lower risk for mistakes.

I was floored that at one concert I went to, I hit 730% in 90 minutes! It may not be the primary purpose of this research, but it has definitely changed my opinion of hearing protection at concerts/musical events.



One of my bar readings was surprising as well. I didn't expect the sound level in the corner of the room to be reading in the 80s, but it did. I would venture to guess (I didn't have my Sound Level Meter with me) that it was about 10 dB louder near the bar, and considerably louder near the bathrooms where the speakers were.


Now that I am able to transfer the files, expect more preliminary reports as I get them!
