Hearing Instrument Testing (HIT) measures the hearing instrument response in a 2cc
coupler in the test chamber. The coupler response is then compared to the
manufacturer specification to ensure quality performance or to detect possible
malfunctions of the hearing instrument.
This system follows the ANSI S3.22 and IEC 60118-7 standards for hearing aid
measurement methods.
The Avant HIT+ supports the following measurements:
OSPL-90
Frequency Response
Input/Output (AGC)
