Abstract

To improve convenience of a user in selecting an earpiece by efficiently identifying the earpiece having a size estimated to be best for an ear of the user.SOLUTION: A measurement system includes: two earphones on which a plurality of earpieces having a different size can be exchangeably mounted; and a wireless terminal to be carried by a user. The measurement system executes measurement processing at least once on whether the mounted earpiece is sealed in an ear of the user. The wireless terminal performed: receiving an input operation related to a mounting feeling of the mounted earpiece; and allowing a display section to display a notification that the size of the mounted earpiece is the best among the sizes of the plurality of earpieces based on an input operation related to the mounting feeling and a measurement result of the measurement processing, or a notification to urge an exchange into another earpiece having a size larger or smaller than the size of the mounted earpiece.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7
