HEAD-MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR A USER OF AUDIOMETRIC TRANSDUCERS AND ITS ADAPTED CALIBRATION SYSTEM

Abstract

A head-mounted system for a user to attach transducers for audiometry using air and vibration stimulation. It comprises support means (1, 10, 20, 24) for two audiometric transducers (21) in air stimulation mode, each positionable at one of the auricles or the external auditory canal, and at least one audiometric transducer (3, 13, 23) in vibration stimulation mode, positionable at the desired stimulation area depending on the chosen conduction mode (e.g., one of the mastoid processes, forehead, soft tissues). A method for calibrating the vibration stimulation transducers attached to a mounting system such as the one described above.
