Abstract

Specifies procedures and requirements for measuring the real-ear acoustical characteristics of hearing aids. Its purpose is to ensure that the same measurements made on a given hearing aid on a given human ear give substantially the same results. This Standard id identical with and reproduced from ISO 12424:2001.

Scope

This International Standard specifies procedures and requirements for measuring the real-ear acoustical characteristics of hearing aids. Its purpose is to ensure that the same measurements made on a given hearing aid on a given human ear and a given hearing aid, following the procedures described and using equipment complying with the re-quirements of IEC 61669, give substantially the same results.
Measurements of real-ear acoustical characteristics of hearing aids which apply non-linear or analytical processing techniques are valid only for the test signals used and conditions employed. These measurements should be per-formed in accordance with the hearing aid manufacturer’s recommendations as they may require specific test signals or test conditions outside the scope of this International Standard.
