IEC 60645-3:2020 specifies a means of describing the physical characteristics, in terms of electrical waveforms, of audiometric reference and test signals of short duration and methods for their measurement. The object of this document is to ensure that audiometric stimuli of short duration are specified and measured in the same way and that the calibration of equipment using such signals is carried out using defined methods. This document does not describe the method of use of short-duration te...view more

This part of IEC 60565 specifies methods and procedures for free-field calibration of
hydrophones, as well as individual electroacoustic transducers that can be used as
hydrophones (receivers) and/or projectors (source transducers). Two general types of
calibration are covered within this document: absolute calibration using the method of threetransducer
spherical-wave reciprocity, and relative calibration by comparison with a reference
device which has already been the subject of an absolu...view more

This part of IEC 60118 covers the relevant EMC phenomena for hearing aids. Hearing aid
immunity to high frequency fields originating from digital wireless devices such as mobile
phones was identified as one of the most relevant EMC phenomena impacting hearing aids.

IEC 60565-1:2020 specifies methods and procedures for free-field calibration of hydrophones, as well as individual electroacoustic transducers that can be used as hydrophones (receivers) and/or projectors (source transducers). Two general types of calibration are covered within this document: absolute calibration using the method of three-transducer spherical-wave reciprocity, and relative calibration by comparison with a reference device which has already been the subject of an absolute calibra...view more

IEC TS 63081:2019:
• defines key quantities relevant to ultrasonic materials characterization;
• specifies methods for direct measurement of many key ultrasonic materials parameters.
This document is applicable to all measurements of properties of passive acoustic materials under drive conditions that are not subject to nonlinear acoustic propagation. Whilst there are materials properties that may be of interest in a nonlinear drive regime, these are currently outside the scope of this docume...view more

This Standard specifies the methods for low frequency pressure calibration of hydrophones at frequencies from 0,01 Hz to several kilohertz depending on calibration method.

This Standard specifies methods for the measurement of bone conduction hearing aid characteristics. The methods described will produce a suitable basis for the exchange of information or for direct comparison of the electroacoustical characteristics of bone conduction hearing aids. These methods are chosen to be practical and reproducible and are based on selected fixed parameters. The results obtained by the methods specified in this document express the performance under the conditions of meas...view more
