B R Ü E L & K JÆ R ® Vibration transducers Artificial Mastoid Type 4930 Artificial Mastoid Type 4930 has been designed for the calibration of bone conduction hearing aids and bone vibrators used in audiometry. It consists of a mechanical simulation of the human head, incorporating a built-in force transducer to monitor the output of the device to be calibrated. All the components of the artificial mastoid have been selected to ensure both excellent long-term stability and accurate correspondence with the mechanical characteristics of the human mastoid. It is designed in accordance with the International Electrotechnical Commission publication IEC 60318–6 from 2007 (formerly IEC R 373 and IEC 60373) and meets the requirements of the British Standard BS EN 60318–6 (2008). Uses and features Uses • Objective measurement of hearing aid and audiometer bone vibrator parameters • Frequency response and output determination of bone vibrators • Design and production testing and calibration of vibration motors • Measurement of bone conduction threshold values Features • Stable, reproducible simulation of the mechanical characteristics of the human head • Built-in force transducer with high-stability characteristic • Simulation of mechanical impedance of human mastoids • Adjustable static force from 2 N to 8 N from 50 Hz to 10 kHz • Compliant with IEC 60318–6 standard

Description The artificial mastoid consists of an inertial mass, simulating the human head, mounted on a baseplate by resilient plastic spacers which surround the securing-bolts. The baseplate isolates the whole apparatus from external disturbances, such as someone bumping the table during use. The baseplate is carried on a suspension composed of three conical springs filled with foam rubber to provide damping. The natural frequencies of this suspension, are all below 5 Hz, which is one-tenth of the lowfrequency limit of the working range. The baseplate also carries a loading-arm and its...
