bands, when the lowest hearing threshold level to be
measured is 0 dB
2 Values of k and typical values of Lmax in octave
bands, when the lowest hearing threshold level to be
measured is 0 dB
3 Values of k and typical values of Lmax in octave
bands, above which hearing threshold level
measurements shall not be carried out when the lowest
hearing threshold level to be measured is 0 dB
4 Standard deviation of replication of hearing
threshold level measurements
Bibliography
Procedures and requirements for audiometry, without masking, using either an automatic recording fixed frequency audiometer or a manual one. Bracketing and ascending procedures are given for the latter.
