The work of preparing International Standards is norm

17、ally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in t

18、he work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare

19、 International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some

20、 of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 389-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 43, Acoustics. ISO 389 consists of the following parts, under the general title Acoustics Refer

24、oduction IEC 60645-3 specifies audiometric test signals of short duration. These short-duration signals consist of clicks and tone-bursts, and they are used in different diagnostic tests, e.g. in Evoked Response Audiometry such as auditory electrophysiology (electrocochleography, auditory brainstem

25、responses, etc.), and transient evoked otoacoustic emissions. This part of ISO 389 specifies reference threshold values for the short-duration signals. The reference hearing threshold data for specific transducers described herein will promote agreement and uniformity in the expression of results of

26、 hearing threshold measurements.

34、 transducer 3.5 rarefaction signal short-duration signal, the initial pressure wave of which causes an under-pressure relative to ambient pressure, or the initial force wave of which causes an under-force relative to the static force at the plane of the output port of the transducer 3.6 alternating

35、polarity signal series of short-duration signals, alternating between rarefaction and condensation signals 3.7 reference pulse electric rectangular pulse (single monophasic rectangular wave) of (100 10) s duration with rise and fall times less than 25 s as specified in IEC 60645-3:2007, 5.2 NOTE The

36、 signal output of the transducer can vary considerably depending upon the type used. 3.8 reference tone-burst electric signal consisting of five periods of the fundamental sine wave and having a linear rise and fall of 1,6 periods and a duration of three periods as specified in IEC 60645-3:2007, 5.3

37、 NOTE 1,6 periods of linear rise and fall corresponds to two periods from zero to 100 % amplitude. The signal envelope remains at the 100 % amplitude for one period. The reference tone-burst can also be described according to the 2-1-2 concept where 2 indicates the number of periods from zero to 100

38、 % amplitude and back to zero, and 1 is the 100 % amplitude period. 3.9 reference equivalent threshold sound pressure level RETSPL at a specified frequency, the median value of the equivalent threshold sound pressure levels of a sufficiently large number of ears of otologically normal persons, of bo

42、free-field conditions 3.12 peak-to-peak equivalent signal level root-mean-square (r.m.s.) value of a long-duration sinusoidal signal which, when compared under the same test conditions with a short-duration output signal from the transducer under test, has the same peak-to-peak value (i.e. differenc

43、e between the extreme positive and the extreme negative values) as the short-duration signal NOTE 1 For clicks (3.2), the long-duration sinusoidal signal should have a frequency of 1 000 Hz, and for tone-bursts (3.3) its frequency should equal the fundamental frequency of the tone-burst. NOTE 2 The

44、term peak-to-peak equivalent signal level is often called peak equivalent signal level. NOTE 3 The peak level of a short-duration signal is between 3 dB and 9 dB greater than the peak-to-peak equivalent level, i.e. 3 dB when the signal is quite symmetrical around the zero baseline and 9 dB when it i

45、s completely on one side of the zero level. NOTE 4 The recommended abbreviations for peak-to-peak equivalent (pe) sound pressure level and vibratory force level are peSPL and peVFL. 3.13 peak-to-peak equivalent reference equivalent threshold sound pressure level or vibratory force level peRETSPL/peR

46、ETVFL peak-to-peak equivalent RETSPL or RETVFL value NOTE The equivalence in this clause when the full terms (peRETSPL or peRETVFL) are used is between two different signals. When short-duration signals are standardized as sound pressure levels or vibratory force levels for hearing threshold purpose

47、s, a further equivalence occurs due to the method of measuring hearing threshold levels in an ear simulator or on a mechanical coupler, respectively, i.e. in terms of equivalent threshold sound pressure or vibratory force levels. 3.14 peak-to-peak equivalent reference threshold sound pressure level

48、peRTSPL peak-to-peak equivalent RTSPL value 4 Specifications The reference hearing threshold levels depend on the type of test signal (click, tone-burst), the type of transducer (earphone, bone vibrator, loudspeaker) and the equipment used for calibration (ear simulator, free field). The recommended

49、 standard values for the click signal based on the reference pulse are given in Tables 1 to 3. They are derived from determinations of the threshold of hearing of otologically normal persons (conditions given in References 4 to 6). Similarly, the recommended standard values for the reference tone-burst signals are given in Table 4. They are derived from determinations of the threshold of hearing of otologically normal persons (conditions given in Refere
