IEC 71 1 :1981, Occluded-ear simulator for the measurement of earphones coupled

3、 to the ear by ear inserts. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this part of IS0 389, the defi- nitions given in IS0 389:1991 together with the fol- lowing definitions apply. 3.1 ear insert: Device used to provide the acoustic coupling between an earphone and the ear canal. NOTE 2 similar device with

4、or without a connecting tube. This may be, for example, an earmould or a 3.2 insert earphone: Small earphone coupled to the ear canal by means of an ear insert, or attached to a connecting element which is inserted into the ear ca- nal. The ear insert may be a part of the insert earphone. 3.3 ear si

5、mulator: Device for measuring the output sound pressure of an earphone under well-defined loading conditions in a specified frequency range. it consists essentially of a principal cavity, acoustic load networks and a calibrated microphone. The location of the microphone is chosen so that the sound p

6、ressure at the microphone corresponds approxi- mately to the sound pressure existing at the human eardrum. 1) To be re-issued as IS0 389-1. STD-BSI BS EN IS0 389-2-ENGL 1997 m 3b24bb9 0597933 997 IS0 389-2:1994(E) 3.4 occluded-ear simulator: Ear simulator which simulates the inner part of the ear ca

7、nal, from the tip of an ear insert to the eardrum. NOTE 3 An occluded-ear simulator is specified in IEC 71 1. 3.5 ear-insert simulator (earmould substitute, earmould simulator): Insert which terminates the en- trance of the ear simulator and provides for passage of sound into the acoustic coupler or

8、 the occluded-ear simulator through an opening on its axis. 3.6 acoustic coupler for insert earphones: Cavity of specified shape and volume which is used for the calibration of an insert earphone in conjunction with a calibrated microphone to measure the sound press- ure within the cavity. NOTE 4 An

9、 acoustic coupler for insert earphones is specified in IEC 126. 4 Type of earphone This part of IS0 389 applies to insert earphones of type Etymotic Research ER3A, coupled to the human ear by ear inserts of type ER-3-14. NOTE 5 insert earphones of type EARTONE 3A are in all relevant aspects identica

10、l to ER3A insert earphones. Ear inserts of type ER-3-14 are also offered as EARLINK 3A ear inserts. The ear insert consists of a foam eartip with a nominal diameter of 13 mm and a nominal length of 12 mm. It contains an internal plastic tube with a nominal internal diameter of 1.9 mm and a nominal e

11、ffective length of 22 mm, as measured between the end of the foam eartip and the end of a sound tube nipple (nominal internal diameter 1,9 mm, nominal length 11 mm). The nipple connects the ear insert to the in- sert earphone output via a sound tube with a nominal internal diameter of 2 mm and a nom

12、inal effective length of 240 mm, as measured between the end of the nipple and the end of the earphone output (see figure 1). The ear insert shall be inserted into the ear canal so that the outer end of the eartip is 2 mm to 3 mm in- side the entrance of the ear canal. 5 Specifications The reference

13、 equivalent threshold sound pressure levels (RETSPL) for earphones as specified in clause 4, in an acoustic coupler conforming to IEC 126 and in an occluded-ear simulator conforming to IEC 71 1, are given in table 1. These values apply when the sound tube nipple of the insert earphone is fixed flush

14、 to the acoustic coupler and to the occludedear simulator in accordance with figure 2 of IEC 126:1973 or IEC 711:1981, respect- ively, by means of plastic tubing. The total effective length of the connecting elements between the insert earphone output and the ear insert simulator is then determined

15、to be 251 mm (see figurez). NOTE 6 In the case of audiometers fitted with insert earphones other than that described in clause 4, the pro- cedure given in A.2.2 of IS0 389:1991 should be used to determine corresponding RETSPL values. 2 IS0 389-2:1994(E) Dimensions in millimetres I Sound tube - / - S
