The '''Auditory Hazard Assessment Algorithm for Humans (AHAAH)''' is a mathematical model of the [[human auditory system]] that calculates the risk to [[Hearing|human hearing]] caused by exposure to [[Impulse noise (acoustics)|impulse sounds]], such as gunfire and airbag deployment. It was developed by the [[United States Army Research Laboratory|U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL)]] to assess the effectiveness of [[Hearing protection device|hearing protection devices]] and aid the design of machinery and weapons to make them safer for the user.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://arlinside.arl.army.mil/www/default.cfm?page=343|title=Auditory Hazard Assessment Algorithm for Humans (AHAAH)|date=September 24, 2015|website=CCDC Army Research Laboratory|access-date=January 6, 2020}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last1=Fedele|first1=Paul|last2=Binseel|first2=Mary|last3=Kalb|first3=Joel|last4=Price|first4=G.

In 2015, the AHAAH became one of the two metrics used by the [[United States Department of Defense|U.S. Department of Defense]] to approve the [[United States Military Standard|Military Standard (MIL-STD) 1474E]] for regulating maximum noise level exposure from military systems.<ref name=":8">{{Cite journal|last=Nakashima|first=Ann|date=November 2015|title=A comparison of metrics for impulse noise exposure|url=https://cradpdf.drdc-rddc.gc.ca/PDFS/unc206/p802859_A1b.pdf|journal=Defence Research and Development Canada|id=DRDC-RDDC-2015-R243}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite journalconference|last=Amrein|first=Bruce|date=May 2016|title=Military standard 1474E: Design criteria for noise limits vs. operational effectiveness|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303538151|journalconference=Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics|volume=25|pages=040005|doi=10.1121/2.0000207|via=ResearchGate|doi-access=free}}</ref> It is also used by the [[Society of Automotive Engineers]] to calculate the hazard of airbag noise and by the [[Israel Defense Forces|Israeli Defense Force]] for impulse noise analysis.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Price|first1=G.
