The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been

20、established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standar

21、dization. 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 International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for v

22、oting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

27、O 389-5:2006vIntroduction An International Standard for extended high frequency audiometers has already been published as IEC 60645-4. Adaptors to be used with the IEC 60318-1 ear simulator to provide an interim acoustic coupler for the calibration of circumaural audiometric earphones in the extende

28、d high frequency range presently are standardized in IEC 60318-2 (to be included in a revised IEC 60318-1). The reference equivalent threshold sound pressure levels for specific circumaural and insert earphones described in this International Standard enable calibration of those audiometers which ar

29、e equipped with these earphones, in order to promote agreement and uniformity in the expression of hearing threshold level measurements worldwide. Annexes A and B of this part of ISO 389 are for information only. A Bibliography is given at the end of this International Standard. EN ISO 389-5:2006bla

EN ISO 389-5:20062 4 Specifications The reference equivalent threshold sound pressure levels, RETSPLs, depend on the model of earphone and on the combination of the ear simulator and a

37、dapter used to calibrate it. Specified values for two different earphones an insert earphone (ETYMOTIC RESEARCH ER-2 together with eartips type ER1-14A) and a closed-type circumaural earphone (SENNHEISER HDA 200) are given in Table 1.

They are derived from determinations of the threshold of hearing of otologically normal persons under conditions as close as possible to those described in Reference 3. The characteristics

41、of SENNHEISER HDA 200 earphone in the extended high-frequency range depend on temperature, especially at 12,5 kHz; see Reference 5. It is therefore recommended to calibrate audiometers equipped with these earphones as closely as possible within the temperature range 21 C to 25 C. dValues for the SEN

42、NHEISER earphone are based on the results of four laboratories. Temperature-dependence information is not available. eIEC 60711 is at present defined in the frequency range up to and including 10 kHz but is according to this document used up to 16 kHz. A revision with a frequency range up to 16 kHz

43、is planned and will become IEC 60318-4. The headband force of the circumaural earphone SENNHEISER HDA 200 shall be within 10,0 1,0 N. The headband force shall be measured when the two earphones are separated by 145 mm and the height of the earphone is adjusted to provide a distance of 130 mm measure

44、d between the centre (top) of the headband and a line between the centres of the earphones. The eartip of the insert earphone ETYMOTIC RESEARCH ER-2 shall be inserted deeply into the ear canal of a test subject so that the outer end of the ear tip is flush with the bottom of the concha.
