title: [The accuracy of subjective determination of auditory threshold in the range of 0.5 to 18.0 kHz using different sound transducer systems].
abstract: This paper reports on the degree of accuracy of determinations of hearing threshold in the 0.5 to 18 kHz range. As far as possible, these hearing thresholds were compared with those of ISO 389. Furthermore, the study compared determinations of hearing thresholds measured on different days. Reproducibility was very good, particularly of the high-frequency thresholds. The two types of sound transducers used here (a quasi-free field system developed by the authors and a pair of professional headphones) showed an identical transmission of frequencies and good reproducibility of the results of measurements.
