1. All headbands supplied with transducers comply with the ISO 389 series for that model of transducer unless oth-
erwise specified.
2. Headphone TDH-39 can be supplied with two different headbands, HB7 and HB8:
- For adult skulls or above normal skull size, HB8 shall be applied (HB8 is in compliance with ISO 389).
- For children and below normal skull size HB7 shall be applied (HB7 provides a greater force required to accommodate
smaller skull size)
For audiometric testing outside of noise attenuating test rooms, Otometrics recommends using earphones which feature
passive noise reduction. For the applicable earphone models, the attenuation is specified in the following table.
