This noise survey assessed the noise exposure sustained by combat arms personnel during a military exercise at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Petawawa in 2006. Participants were asked to wear personal noise dosimeters during various basic operations (Raid, Convoy and Infantry Rehearsal Operations). Exposure beyond the allowed limit was documented in some operations (Raid and Convoy). Despite exposures beyond suggested limits, no hearing protection was worn or made available to the soldiers during the entire duration of the military operation.
