Analysis of the current status of acoustic protection in aviation shows that despite the material progress in the field, risk of professional pathologies in flying and technical personnel is still high. The situation is dramatized by the lack of effective personal and crew acoustic protectors. The authors speculate on applicability of innovative materials and technologies, ingenious designs of earphones and modular prefabricated demountable structures. Tests of proposed personal protectors demonstrated their competitiveness with foreign analogs. Prospective lines of development, e.g. incorporation of active sound absorption systems in existing passive protectors are discussed.

Lateral olivocochlear neurons modulate cochlear responses to noise exposure.

The sense of hearing originates in the cochlea, which detects sounds across dynamic sensory environments. Like other peripheral organs, the cochlea is subjected to environmental insults, including loud, damage-inducing sounds. In response to internal and external stimuli, the central nervous system directly modulates cochlear function through olivocochlear neurons (OCNs), which are located in the brainstem and innervate the cochlear sensory epithelium.

Since traffic flow has not been generated, a traffic noise prediction model based on actual traffic state data cannot be directly applied to the planned road network. Therefore, a regional traffic noise prediction method is proposed to find the upper limit of network noise emission based on design elements. The model is developed with noise predictions of the basic road section, interrupted/continuous intersections, and regional network.

Rational design of heterostructure (HS)-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) smart gas sensors for efficient and accurate subppm level ammonia (NH) detection at room temperature (RT) is of great significance in environmental protection and human safety. This study introduced a novel HS composed of an AlN-based SAW resonator and CuO nanoparticles (NPs) as a chemical interface for NH detection at RT (∼26 °C). The structural, morphological, and chemical compositions were detailly investigated, which demonstrates that the CuO/AlN HS was successfully formed via interfacial modulation.

ℤ-classified higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) with chiral-symmetric higher-order topological phases protected by multipole chiral numbers (MCNs) have attracted extensive interest recently. However, how to design artificial ℤ-classified HOTIs with multiple topological phases remains an unresolved issue. Here, multiorbital degrees of freedom are introduced to acoustic crystals and the various methods of topological phase transitions are achieved for the orbital ℤ-classified HOTIs.
