BS EN 60118-8:2005 Electroacoustics - Hearing aids - Part 8: Methods of measurement of performance characteristics of hearing aids under simulated in situ working conditions
The purpose of this part of IEC 60118 is to describe methods for a test which simulates the
acoustical effects of a median adult wearer on the performance of a hearing aid.
It establishes certain guidelines for simulated in situ measurements of hearing aids; it
describes a simplified method for simulated in situ measurements of hearing aids and a
description for determination of the directivity index (DI) of directional microphones in hearing
aids in the horizontal plane.
In addition this second edition now specifies tolerances. Conformance to the specifications in
this International Standard is demonstrated only when the result of a measurement, extended
by the actual expanded uncertainty of measurement of the testing laboratory, lies fully within
the tolerances specified in this International Standard extended by the values for Umax
