Bibliography
Specifies a mechanical coupler for the measurement of the output force of bone vibrators. The mechanical impedance of the coupler is specified in the frequency range 125 Hz to 8 000 Hz. The coupler is intended for calibration of audiometers using bone vibrators having a plane circular tip area of 175 mm[2] +/- 25 mm[2] and for determining the performance of bone conduction hearing aids.
