Continuous F-MIRE measurements method for earmuffs need to be improved. The measured noise reduction (NR∗) varies as a function of sound incidence. A finite element model of an earmuff is developed to investigate this variation. The model is evaluated experimentally (SPL external mic, NR∗, NR∗ variation). The model is used to choose the optimal position for F-MIRE external microphone.
