9.3Multicurve procedure

Multicurve generates 1 to 4 output or gain response curves using either pink noise or swept pure tones at input levels ranging from 40 – 90 dB SPL and 0 dB (off).

1)Press <Tests>, then highlight and <PICK> [Multicurve].

2)Refer to 7.11: Coupling the hearing instrument, 7.12: Positioning the hearing

instrument and 2.5: Battery pill use and care to prepare the instrument for testing. Turn the instrument ON.

4)Highlight and <PICK> the Stimulus window, then highlight and <PICK> either [Pink noise] or [Swept] from the drop-down list.

5)Highlight and <PICK> the Level window for the selected Test, then highlight and <PICK> a stimulus level from the drop-down list.

6)Press <Continue> to run a sweep or to capture a pink noise curve; press <Cancel> to abort the test.

7)To measure another response curve, highlight and <PICK> another test button; to overwrite a curve, highlight and <PICK> its test button.

To change scale from dB SPL to dB Gain, highlight & <PICK> the Scale window.

9.4Multicurve results

1)Output curves for the noise signal are in 1/12th octave bands. They will be approximately 18 dB lower than pure tone curves for a linear instrument.

2)Gain curves for a linear instrument will be the same for both swept and pink noise test signals.

3)For compression instruments, both gain and output curves may be expected to differ for the two test signals.

4)See 7: Hearing Instrument Tests Setup to change screen appearance.
