Annotation of standard text IEC 60118-16-ed.1.0 :
IEC 60118-16:2022 gives definitions for common hearing aid features such as noise reduction or feedback reduction, etc. Only acoustical inputs are considered. Binaural features are currently not covered in this document. In addition, measurement procedures are described to verify hearing aid features. The objective is not to evaluate the performance of features but to verify their existence and functionality. Furthermore, definitions and procedures are kept as general as possible so that this document can be applied to various types of hearing aids, for example, air-conduction hearing aids or bone conduction hearing aids. To this end, the general definition for the term "hearing aid" given in IEC 60118-0 is adopted, and this document does not refer to any specific ear simulator or acoustic coupler but uses a general definition of a coupler. However, if a general view is not applicable or leads to unclear or complex wording, the situation for an air-conduction hearing aid only is considered. Nevertheless, an explanation is given on how this document can be applied to hearing aids which do not use air conduction. LIEC 60118-16:2022 definit les caracteristiques communes des appareils de correction auditive telles que la reduction du bruit ou la reduction des retours, etc. Seules les entrees acoustiques sont prises en consideration. Les caracteristiques binaurales ne sont actuellement pas couvertes par le present document. En outre, des procedures de mesure destinees a verifier les caracteristiques des appareils de correction auditive sont decrites. L’objectif n’est pas d’evaluer les performances des caracteristiques, mais de verifier leur existence et leur fonctionnalite. Par ailleurs, les definitions et les procedures sont maintenues aussi generales que possible de telle sorte que le present document peut etre applique a differents types dappareils de correction auditive, par exemple, appareils de correction auditive a conduction aerienne ou a conduction osseuse. A cette fin, la definition generale du terme "appareil de correction auditive" donnee dans l’IEC 60118-0 est adoptee, et le present document ne fait reference a aucun simulateur doreille ou aucun coupleur acoustique specifiques, mais utilise une definition generale du terme "coupleur". Toutefois, lorsqu’une vue generale n’est pas applicable ou entraine une formulation peu claire ou complexe, seule la situation d’un appareil de correction auditive a conduction aerienne est prise en consideration. Neanmoins, une explication est donnee sur la maniere dont le present document peut etre applique a des appareils de correction auditive qui n’utilisent pas la conduction aerienne.
