thresholds for the HA-1, HA-2 (DB 0138) and Ear Simulator 2cc couplers. The
Bruel & Kjaer 2cc DB-0138 (HA-2) coupler will simplify the calibration
procedure and is recommended. Reference thresholds for the DB-0138, IEC
711, and HA-1 couplers are presented below.

Should calibration be

performed for an audiometer currently calibrated towards ISO-389, the
reference thresholds in a 2cc DB-0138 coupler should be used. In order to
calibrate the audiometer for direct readings of the hearing thresholds in dBHL
using the reference thresholds, the following procedure is recommended. The
instrumentation required is a Sound Level Meter with an appropriate
condenser microphone calibrated according to the manufacturer’s
specification. To the microphone, a 2cc coupler, e.g., Bruel & Kjaer DB-0138
is attached. The white nylon tube nipple of the E-A-RTONE

®

5A earphone is

connected directly to the coupler (see illustration). Set the intensity dial on the
audiometer to 70 dBHL and adjust the output from the audiometer to the SPL-
values given for the different test frequencies in the table below. Repeat the
procedure for all available test frequencies, and in case of a dual channel
audiometer, for both channels.
