NBS-9A coupler-to-eardrum transformation: TDH-39 and TDH-49 earphones.
نویسنده
چکیده
A transformation was derived to convert sound-pressure levels referenced to an NBS-9A coupler to corresponding eardrum sound-pressure levels. It was found that the same transformation may be used for male and female adults and for both TDH-39 and TDH-49 earphones in MX-41/AR supra-aural cushions. It was determined that from 250-2000 Hz the transformation provides an eardrum sound-pressure level estimate that is within 6 dB of the actual eardrum level for 95% of individuals. However, in the 4000-6300-Hz range, the accuracy deteriorates to +/- 12 dB of actual eardrum level for 95% of individuals.

Reference threshold levels for an ER-3A insert earphone.
The purpose of this study was to obtain normal hearing thresholds for an ER-3A insert earphone as a contribution for future standardization and for comparison with previous studies and interim ANSI and ISO insert earphone reference equivalent threshold sound pressure levels (RETSPLs). Hearing thresholds were obtained on each ear of 48 normal-hearing subjects from 125 to 8000 Hz using ER-3A and ...
متن کاملIntersubject variability of real-ear sound pressure level: conventional and insert earphones.
Measures of the sound pressure level (SPL) near the eardrum were determined at discrete frequencies between 500 and 4000 Hz on 50 ears using TDH-39P and ER-3A earphones with the attenuator of an audiometer fixed at 90 dB HL. Results revealed significant differences in the measured SPL between the two earphones at all test frequencies. Results also revealed large intersubject differences in the ...
متن کاملComparison of Etymotic insert and TDH supra-aural earphones in auditory brainstem response measurement.
There are few systematic comparisons of Etymotic ER-3A insert earphones versus supra-aural earphones in auditory brainstem response (ABR) measurement. We compared ER-3A insert earphones and two types of supra-aural earphones (TDH-39P and TDH-49P) in a group of normal hearing adults. Acoustic analyses revealed spectral and temporal differences among earphones. Behavioral and ABR thresholds to cl...
متن کاملReference equivalent threshold levels for pure tones and 1/3-oct noise bands: insert earphone and TDH-49 earphone.
Reference equivalent threshold sound pressure levels (RETSPLs) were determined for 20 subjects for pure tones and 1/3-oct noise bands. Two transducers were used: a Telephonics TDH-49 earphone mounted in an MX-41/AR cushion, and a Danavox SMW insert earphone coupled to an "HA-2" earmold. RETSPLs for pure tones transduced by the TDH-49 earphone were very similar to those published previously. For...
متن کاملInfluence of the type of transducer in profound hearing loss.
BACKGROUND individuals with profound hearing loss may present vibrotactile responses when tested with supra-aural earphones due to the large skull area exposed to vibration in these transducers. AIM to verify the influence of the type of transducer when assessing air conducted pure tone thresholds in individuals with profound sensorineural hearing loss. METHOD 50 individuals, ranging in age...
