Specifies the general requirements for test equipment designed for use in measuring the real-ear acoustical characteristics of hearing aids and describes the terminology used.The purpose of this International Standard is to ensure that measurements of real-ear acoustical characteristics of a hearing aid on a given human ear, performed with different test equipment which comply with this International Standard using methods described in ISO 12124, shall give substantially the same results.
IEC 61669:2015 gives recommendations and requirements for the measurement and estimation of the real-ear acoustical performance characteristics of air-conduction hearing aids and for the measurement of certain acoustic properties of the ear related to the application of hearing aids. Measurements of real-ear acoustical characteristics of hearing aids which apply non-linear or analytical processing techniques are valid only for the test signals used and conditions employed. The purpose of this standard is to ensure that measurements of real-ear acoustical performance characteristics of a given hearing aid on a given human ear can be replicated in other locations with other test equipment. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61669:2001 and the first edition of ISO 12124:2001. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
