Abstract
Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 389-7:2005 specifies a reference threshold of hearing for the calibration of audiometric equipment used under the following conditions.
- The sound field in the absence of the listener consists of either a free progressive plane wave (free field) or a diffuse sound field, as specified in Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 8253-2. In the case of a free field, the source of sound is directly in front of the listener (frontal incidence).
- The sound signals are pure (sinusoidal) tones in the case of free-field conditions and one-third octave bands of (white or pink) noise in the case of diffuse-field conditions.
- The sound pressure level is measured in the absence of the listener at the position where the centre of the listener's head would be.
- Listening is binaural.
The data in Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 389-7:2005 are given in numerical form for the preferred frequencies in the one-third octave series from 20 Hz to 16 000 Hz inclusive in accordance with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 266 and, in addition, for some intermediate audiometric frequencies up to 18 000 Hz.
The threshold data differ from the audiometric zero specified in Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 389-1, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 389-2, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±/TR 389-5 and Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 389-8, since the latter refer to monaural listening through earphones with sound pressure levels referred to specified couplers and ear simulators. Direct comparison between the data in the parts of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 389 mentioned above and that in Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 389-7:2005 is therefore not appropriate.
