Embodiment Construction

[0072] The following detailed description is presented in conjunction with the accompanying drawings as a description of various non-limiting embodiments including methods, diagnostic tools and audiological diagnostic systems according to the present invention.

[0073] refer to figure 1, showing a schematic illustration of a microphone calibration setup applying a 0.4cc coupler, a reference microphone, and an appropriate sound source configured to generate a sound field in the coupler (since the probe includes at least a sound source and a microphone, the sound source is not shown in the figure shown in, see for example [1]). This setup constitutes a non-limiting example of a setup that can be used to implement the method according to the invention.

[0074] figure 1 A probe unit (equivalently, an acoustic unit) generally indicated by reference number 1 is shown, comprising a probe microphone 2 and a sound source 8 . Furthermore, an acoustic tube 3 is shown, which is confi...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for determining the sensitivity of a first microphone, the method comprising providing an acoustic coupler having at least one internal cavity configured such that a sound field can be generated within the cavity, the cavity being further in acoustic communication with a reference microphone configured to measure the reference sound pressure at a given position in said cavity, the cavity being further provided with an inlet opening configured to establish acoustic communication between the sound inlet of said first microphone, the sensitivity of which is to be determined.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to determining the sensitivity of a microphone as a function of frequency, and in particular to determining the sensitivity of a microphone in an acoustic unit such as an acoustic probe for audiodiagnosis. Background technique [0002] Some modalities in audiology involve the measurement of sound pressure in the ear canal. Measuring the correct sound pressure from the outset is also the basis for estimating other relevant quantities such as the sound pressure at the eardrum, the sound intensity or the sound energy transmitted to the inner ear. [0003] A modality in audiology involving sound pressure measurement in the ear canal includes otoacoustic emissions (OAE). In OAE measurements, sounds produced by well-functioning hair cells in the cochlea that are loud enough to be recorded by a microphone positioned in the patient's (ie subject's) ear canal are measured. OAE measurements can provide information about ...
