Abstract
Sounds input via a sound input means (11) are corrected in accordance with age-based hearing characteristic data read from a memory (13) or correction values for reference hearing characteristics for individual hearing characteristics measured by an individual hearing characteristics means (15), and the sounds corresponding to the hearing characteristics are measured and displayed by a display means (14).
Claims5
A method of measuring sound that takes hearing characteristics into consideration, characterized by measuring sounds corresponding to hearing characteristics of a predetermined age by inputting sounds via a sound input means, reading age-based hearing characteristic data from a memory and correcting input sounds in accordance with hearing characteristic data for the predetermined age.
A method of measuring sound that takes hearing characteristics into consideration, characterized by measuring sounds corresponding to the individual hearing characteristics by measuring individual hearing characteristics, calculating correction values for reference hearing characteristics and using said correction values to correct sounds input via a sound input means.
A sound measurement apparatus that takes hearing characteristics into consideration, characterized by comprising
- a sound input means (11),
- a memory (13) in which age-based hearing characteristic data are stored,
- a measurement value calculation means (12) that corrects sounds input via said sound input means in accordance with the age-based hearing characteristic data stored in said memory, and
- a display means (14) that displays calculated values output by said measurement value calculation means.
A sound measurement apparatus that takes hearing characteristics into consideration, characterized by comprising
- a sound input means (11),
- an individual hearing characteristics measurement means (15),
- an individual correction value calculation means (16) that calculates correction values for correcting individual hearing characteristics based on measurement values of said individual hearing characteristics measurement means,
- an individual hearing characteristic data memory (17) in which said correction values are stored,
- a measurement value calculation means (12) that corrects sounds measured via said sound input means in accordance with individual hearing characteristics data stored in said memory, and
- a display means (14) that displays calculated values output by said measurement value calculation means.
A sound measurement apparatus that takes hearing characteristics into consideration, characterized by comprising
- a sound input means (11),
- a memory (13) in which age-based hearing characteristic data are stored,
- an individual hearing characteristics measurement means (15),
- an individual correction value calculation means (16) that calculates correction values for correcting individual hearing characteristics based on measurement values of said individual hearing characteristics measurement means,
- an individual hearing characteristic data memory (17) in which said correction values are stored,
- a means (18) of selecting said age-based hearing characteristic data and individual hearing characteristic data,
- a measurement value calculation means (12) that corrects sounds measured via a sound input means in accordance with selected said age-based hearing characteristic data or said individual hearing characteristic data, and
- a display means (14) that displays calculated values output by said measurement value calculation means.
