Abstract
Setting safe limits for sound exposure to humans has been an active part of audiology. Little has been done, however, to address safety limits on the sound production side. Vocologists should become active in limiting competing noises when vocal communication is required or desired. In restaurants, public transportation vehicles, convention halls, bars and other places of business or recreation, there is often a disregard for the loudness level of conversation required. For some, there is also insufficient protection for the duration of occupational vocalization and a lack of a built-in recovery time. Some suggestions for voice dosimetry measures are given.
