2.2.2 Dual-direction pink noise signal (Verit only)
This unique test signal is available in the dual-source
Verit test chamber and for on-ear measurements by
adding an additional sound-eld speaker. It is similar
to the pink noise signal described previously except
that the component tones are presented simultane-
ously from two speakers, half from each. The spec-
trum of the tone complex from each speaker is in-
dependently controlled with 1/12 octave resolution
at the reference microphone. Two simultaneous re-
sponse curves – one for each speaker – are derived
from the measured output of the hearing aid. This
provides a real-time measure of the functioning of the
directional features of hearing aids that is indepen-
dent of compression or noise reduction algorithms,
unlike other methods that sequentially measure re-
sponse from dierent directions and work only with
these features disabled.
