The calibration values for the BERAphone
®
are according to the PTB Report from
2008-05-19. A special calibration adapter is needed to mount the BERAphone
®
onto
the coupler with a pressure of 5 N.Stimulus
The ABR stimulus is different from the one specified in the standard IEC 60645-3. This
CE-CHIRP
®
stimulus has the same linear magnitude frequency response like the click
stimulus specified in the standard. However, it is designed as a sum of cosine functions in
the frequency domain. The frequencies of the cosines are multiples of the stimulus repetition
rate – with equal intensity for each frequency, to achieve the same linear magnitude
frequency response. However, the phase of the cosine components are delayed according
to the cochlear delay of the according frequency in order to achieve a more effective
stimulus design. The frequency range of the stimulus is from 200 Hz to 11,000 Hz.
6.4 Coupler Types Used for Calibration
DPOAE: Probe stimuli L1 and L2 are calibrated individually in SPL values using the
IEC 60711 ear simulator coupler made in accordance to IEC 60318-4.
TEOAE: Probe stimuli are calibrated in peSPL values using the IEC 60711 ear
simulator coupler made in accordance to IEC 60318-4.
