Electroacoustics - Hearing aids - Part 9: Methods of measurement of the performance characteristics of bone conduction hearing aids

IEC 60118-9:2019 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 measurement; however, the performance of the hearing aid under practical conditions of use will depend upon a number of factors (e.g. effective load impedance, environmental conditions, acoustical environment, etc.). This document defines methods of measurement of characteristics of bone conduction hearing aids both for • transcutaneously coupled devices measured on a mechanical coupler, meeting the requirements of IEC 60318-6, and • bone coupled/bone anchored devices measured on a skull simulator. IEC 60118-9:2019 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1985. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) includes bone coupled devices measured on a skull simulator; b) measurement frequency range increased to 8 000 Hz for bone coupled devices.

Électroacoustique - Appareils de correction auditive - Partie 9: Méthodes de mesure des caractéristiques fonctionnelles des appareils de correction auditive à conduction osseuse

L'IEC 60118-9:2019 spécifie les méthodes permettant de mesurer les caractéristiques des appareils de correction auditive à conduction osseuse. Les résultats des méthodes décrites constitueront une base adaptée pour échanger des informations ou pour comparer directement les caractéristiques électroacoustiques des appareils de correction auditive à conduction osseuse. Ces méthodes sont choisies pour leur praticabilité et leur reproductibilité, et sont fondées sur des paramètres fixes sélectionnés. Les résultats obtenus par les méthodes spécifiées dans le présent document expriment le fonctionnement de l'appareil de correction auditive dans les conditions de mesure, mais le fonctionnement en conditions réelles d'utilisation dépend d'un ensemble de facteurs (impédance de charge effective, conditions d'environnement, environnement acoustique, etc.). Le présent document définit les méthodes permettant de mesurer les caractéristiques des appareils de correction auditive à conduction osseuse qui sont: • des appareils à couplage transcutané mesurés sur un coupleur mécanique satisfaisant aux exigences de l'IEC 60318-6; • des appareils à couplage/ancrage osseux mesurés sur un simulateur crânien. L'IEC 60118-9:2019annule et remplace la première édition parue en 1985. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) ajout des appareils à couplage osseux mesurés sur un simulateur crânien; b) augmentation de la plage de fréquences de mesure à 8 000 Hz pour les appareils à couplage osseux.

Elektroakustika - Slušni pripomočki - 9. del: Metode za merjenje tehničnih lastnosti kostno prevodnih slušnih pripomočkov (IEC 60118-9:2019)

V tem standardu so opredeljene metode za merjenje lastnosti kostno prevodnih slušnih pripomočkov. Opisane metode bodo zagotovile ustrezno osnovo za izmenjavo informacij ali za neposredno primerjavo elektroakustičnih lastnosti kostno prevodnih slušnih pripomočkov. Izbrane metode so praktične in ponovljive ter temeljijo na izbranih nespremenljivih parametrih. Rezultati, pridobljeni z metodami, ki so navedene v tem dokumentu, prikazujejo delovanje v merilnih pogojih, vendar je učinkovitost slušnih pripomočkov pod praktičnimi pogoji uporabe odvisna od različnih dejavnikov (npr. učinkovita impedanca obremenitve, okoljski pogoji, akustično okolje itd.). Ta dokument določa metode za merjenje lastnosti kostno prevodnih slušnih pripomočkov tako za transkutano povezane naprave, ki se merijo na mehanskem spojniku in izpolnjujejo zahteve standarda IEC 60318-6, kot tudi za s kostjo spojene/na kost pritrjene naprave, merjene na lobanjskem simulatorju.
