Abstract

It was 1976, hearing conservation and earplug technology had just been advanced by the introduction of the first slow-recovery roll-down foam earplug four years ago, and Elliott Berger had just entered the workforce. Over the next 41 years, Elliott would be a key player in many other advancements in hearing conservation. This paper will briefly summarize his career and contributions to hearing conservation, including research and development of new hearing protectors, standardization of many aspects of hearing conservation, and education of hearing conservation practitioners. Along the way, Elliott documented his work in numerous journal articles, book chapters, and presentations. Several of Elliott's colleagues, collaborators, and friends are here today to fill in more of the details of his career and work to advance hearing conservation.
