Electroacoustics - Hearing aids - Part 15: Methods for characterising signal processing in hearing aids with a speech-like signal

IEC 60118-15:2012 specifies a test signal designed to represent normal speech, the International Speech Test Signal (ISTS), together with the procedures and the requirements for measuring the characteristics of signal processing in air-conduction hearing aids. The measurements are used to derive the estimated insertion gain (EIG). For the purposes of characterizing a hearing aid for production, supply and delivery, the procedures and requirements to derive the coupler gain on a 2 cm3 coupler as defined in IEC 60318-5 are also specified. The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the same measurements made on a hearing aid following the procedures described, and using equipment complying with these requirements, give substantially the same results. Measurement methods that take into account the acoustic coupling of a hearing aid to the individual ear and the acoustic influence of the individual anatomical variations of an end-user on the acoustical performance of the hearing aid, known as real-ear measurements, are outside the scope of this particular standard.

Electroacoustique - Appareils de correction auditive - Partie 15: Méthodes de caractérisation du traitement des signaux dans les appareils de correction auditive avec un signal de type parole

La CEI 60118-15:2012 spécifie un signal d'essai conçu pour représenter la parole normale, le signal vocal international de test (ISTS), ainsi que les procédures et les exigences relatives à la mesure des caractéristiques de traitement des signaux dans les appareils de correction auditive à conduction aérienne. Les mesures sont utilisées pour obtenir le gain d'insertion estimé (EIG, estimated insertion gain). Pour les besoins de la caractérisation d'un appareil de correction auditive aux fins de production, de livraison et d'approvisionnements, les procédures et exigences pour obtenir le gain de coupleur à l'aide d'un coupleur de 2 cm3 tel que défini dans la CEI 60318-5 sont également spécifiées. Le but de la présente norme est de garantir que les mêmes mesures effectuées sur un appareil de correction auditive en suivant les procédures décrites, et en utilisant l'appareillage conformément à ces exigences, donnent pratiquement les mêmes résultats. Les méthodes de mesure qui tiennent compte du couplage acoustique d'un appareil de correction auditive à l'oreille individuelle et de l'influence acoustique des variations anatomiques individuelles d'un utilisateur final sur les performances acoustiques de l'appareil de correction auditive, connues sous le nom de mesures d'oreille réelle, sont en dehors du domaine d'application de la présente norme particulière.
