Electroacoustics - Hearing aids - Measurement of the performance characteristics of hearing aids

This part of IEC 60118 gives recommendations for the measurement of the performance
characteristics of air conduction hearing aids based on a free field technique and measured
with an acoustic coupler.
This part of IEC 60118 is applicable to the measurement and evaluation of the
electroacoustical characteristics of hearing aids, for example for type testing and
manufacturer data sheets.
The test results obtained by the methods specified in this part of IEC 60118 will express the
performance under conditions of the test and may deviate substantially from the performance
of the hearing aid under actual conditions of use.
This part of IEC 60118 uses an acoustic coupler according to IEC 60318-5 which is only
intended for loading a hearing aid with a specified acoustic impedance and is not intended to
model the sound pressure in a person’s ear. The use of this acoustic coupler will yield
different results from those obtained using the occluded ear simulator of IEC 60318-4 as used
in former editions of IEC 60118-0.
For the measurement of the performance characteristics of hearing aids for simulated in situ
working conditions, IEC 60118-8 can be used. For measurement of hearing aids under typical
user settings and using a speech-like signal, IEC 60118-15 can be used.
For the measurement of the performance characteristics of hearing aids for production, supply
and delivery quality-assurance purposes, IEC 60118-7 can be used. The frequency range has
been extended to 8 kHz in this part of IEC 60118 as opposed to 5 kHz in IEC 60118-7.
Though the number of measurements covered by this part of IEC 60118 is limited, it is not
intended that all measurements described herein are mandatory.
In cases of custom-made in-the-ear instruments, the data supplied by the manufacturer
applies only to the particular hearing aid being tested.

Electroacoustique Appareils de correction auditive Mesure des caractéristiques de performance des corrections auditives

L'IEC 60118-0:2015 donne des recommandations pour la mesure des caractéristiques fonctionnelles des appareils de correction auditive à conduction aérienne, fondée sur une technique en champ acoustique libre utilisant un coupleur acoustique. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 1983 et son Amendement 1:1994, l'IEC 60118-1:1995, l'Amendement 1:1998, l'IEC 60118-2:1983, l'Amendement 1:1993, l'Amendement 2:1997 et l'IEC 60118-6:1999. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.

Elektroakustika - Slušni aparati - Meritve tehničnih karakteristik slušnih aparatov

Ta del standarda IEC 60118 podaja priporočila za meritve tehničnih karakteristik slušnih aparatov, ki delujejo na podlagi prevajanja zvoka po zraku in ki temeljijo na tehniki prostega polja (free field technique) ter so izmerjene s pomočjo akustičnega spojnika.
Ta del standarda IEC 60118 velja za meritve in ocenjevanje elektroakustičnih karakteristik slušnih aparatov za potrebe, na primer, tipskega preskušanja in tehničnih listov proizvajalca.
Rezultati preskusov, pridobljeni z metodami, ki so navedene v tem delu standarda IEC 60118, prikazujejo delovanje v preskusnih pogojih in lahko znatno odstopajo od delovanja slušnega aparata v dejanskih pogojih uporabe.
Ta del standarda IEC 60118 uporablja akustični spojnik skladno s standardom IEC 60318-5, ki obremeni slušni aparat z določeno akustično impedanco in ne spreminja zvočnega tlaka v ušesu. Rezultati, pridobljeni z uporabo tega akustičnega spojnika, se bodo razlikovali od tistih, ki so pridobljeni z uporabo simulatorja zamašenega ušesa, zajetega v standardu IEC 60318-4, kot jo določajo starejše različice standarda IEC 60118-0.
Za meritev tehničnih karakteristik slušnih aparatov v simuliranih pogojih na kraju uporabe lahko uporabite standard IEC 60118-8. Za meritev karakteristik slušnih aparatov z običajnimi uporabniškimi nastavitvami in z uporabo govoru podobnega signala lahko uporabite standard IEC 60118-15.
Za meritev tehničnih karakteristik slušnih aparatov za namene zagotavljanja kakovosti pri izdelavi, dobavi in dostavi lahko uporabite standard IEC 60118-7. Frekvenčni razpon je v tem delu standarda IEC 60118 razširjen na 8 kHz v primerjavi s standardom IEC 60118-7, kjer je bil omejen na 5 kHz.
Čeprav je število meritev, ki jih zajema ta del standarda IEC 60118, omejeno, vse tu opisane meritve niso obvezne.
V primeru instrumentov za vstavitev v uho, ki so narejeni po meri, podatki, ki jih zagotovi proizvajalec, veljajo samo za določen slušni aparat, ki se ga preskuša.
