Loudness balance calibration of bone conduction vibrators.
An improved monaural loudness balance method of transferring calibration data among three physically dissimilar bone conduction vibrators was compared with the threshold method. In 19 of 21 possible comparisons, absolute differences between the transfer factors obtained with the two methods were 2.5 dB or less, showing that the monaural loudness balance procedure compares favorably with the threshold method.
