Sound Level Calibration: Microphones, Ear Simulators, Couplers, and Sound Level Meters

Abstract

This article describes the instrumentation used for the calibration of audiometric equipment and how the sound level measurements are traced back to national/international references. Couplers and ear simulators are crucial for the measurement of the output of audiometric transducers. Therefore, special attention is given to their specification, application, and testing.
