Abstract
In hearing aid research and application it is often necessary to transform the sound pressure level or acoustic gain measured at one physical point (e.g., 2 cc coupler) to an equivalent value at another physical point (e.g., tympanic membrane). Results of currently available studies on various transformations are summarized in this report. When no data were available, the desired transfer function was calculated as a linear combination of known contributing transfer functions. Values are given for the center frequencies of 1/3 octaves and critical bands.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
