Measurement Conditions and Recommendations
The data for Range are obtained and performance is expressed according to ANSI S3.22 (2003), ANSI S3.7 (1995), ANSI C63.19 (2007), IEC 60118-7 (2005), IEC 60711 (1981), DIN 45605 (1989) and IEC 60118-0 (1983) with Amendment 1 (1994-01). The Audibel proprietary Real Time Analyzer and the Audibel Automated Design Verification Test System comprise the basic test equipment. Data may be subject to change with product refinement.
Because of the adaptive signal processing capabilities of Range hearing instruments, the hearing instrument must be set to test mode to compare the actual performance of the hearing instrument with these specifications. Range hearing instruments may be set to test mode with Inspire® by reading the hearing aid and selecting the “Hearing Aid Test” screen from the menu on the left side of the Inspire window, then selecting the “Full on Gain” button.
