What is PD IEC/TS 60318-7- Head and torso simulator for measuring air-conduction hearing aids about?

PD IEC/TS 60318-7 is a European standard on simulators of the human head and ear in electroacoustics that discusses the head and torso simulators for measuring air-conduction hearing aids to evaluate the hearing ability. PD IEC/TS 60318-7 is the seventh part of a multi-part series that describes a head and torso simulator, or manikin, intended for the measurement of air-conduction hearing aids in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 16 000 Hz. The manikin described in PD IEC/TS 60318-7 is intended for airborne acoustic measurements only. Note: The manikin described in PD IEC/TS 60318-7 is not suitable for measurements that depend upon vibration transmission paths such as bone conduction, or for measurements requiring the simulation of bone or tissue. PD IEC/TS 60318-7 specifies the manikin in terms of both its geometrical dimensions and its acoustical properties. Only manikins compliant with both sets of specifications are in conformance with PD IEC/TS 60318-7.
