1Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany.
Objective:
To determine ETSPLs for the Oscilla H210A circumaural audiometric headphones.
Design:
ETSPL measurements were performed for 11 audiometric frequencies with the ISO 8253-1 (2010) bracketing procedure.
Study Sample:
The study was based on 25 otologically normal test subjects.
Results:
ETSPLs are provided for an ear simulator according to IEC 60318-1 (2009) along with a detailed measurement uncertainty budget.
Conclusions:
ETSPLs for the Oscilla H210A headphones may be used to update ISO 389-8 (2004), the reference ETSPL standard for circumaural audiometric headphones.

Sound Intensity Level
The human ear can perceive an extensive range of sound intensity, necessitating the use of the logarithmic scale to define a physical quantity—the intensity level. It is a ratio of two intensities and...
Perception of Sound Waves
The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency and the pressure amplitude of the source. Two sounds of the same...
Echo
Imagine the sound is reflected back to the ears. Assuming that the source is very close to the human, the difference between hearing the two sounds—the emitted sound and the reflected sound—may be more than the minimum time for perceiving distinct sounds. If this is the case,...

Perceiving Loudness, Pitch, and Location
Place theory, or place coding, suggests that different pitches are heard because various sound waves activate specific locations along the cochlea's basilar membrane. The brain determines the pitch of a sound by...
