APPLICATION

The procedures and requirements presented in this Standard are restricted to air conduction pure-tone threshold audiometry by earphones. Other techniques, such as bone conduction pure-tone threshold audiometry, masking and speech audiometry, are not specified.Techniques for computer-controlled audiometry are not specified but may be used.
