Clinical Ear Canal Probe Tube Measurements

David B. Hawkins

Abstract

This paper describes a variety of areas in which ear canal probe tube microphone measurements can be useful to the audiologist. Areas such as measurement of hearing aid insertion gain to match some predetermined target levels, output sound pressure level in the ear canal (real ear SSPL90), and assessment of FM systems and FM system-hearing aid combinations are discussed. In addition, some variables affecting the accuracy of these measurements and the reliability will be discussed.
