Abstract: 1348197 Electrophonic sound producers HEARING AID CENTRE SOUTH AFRICA (PTY) Ltd 2 Jan 1973 [10 Jan 1972] 253/73 Heading G5J [Also in Division G1] An audiometer for testing the hearing of a group of people and separately recording the results for each person in the group comprises a tone generating circuit 2 which includes an oscillator 4, e.g. of the Wien bridge type, to produce a continuous or pulsed tone, an inter - rupter 5, an amplifier 6, and an attenuator 7, the output being supplied to a series of individually calibrated headphones 8 in each of which sound can be produced selectively from one earpiece at a time. A programme circuit 1 in conjunction with a control logic circuit 15 actuates a frequency switching circuit 12, 13 for the oscillator 4, an attentuation level swiching circuit 11, 10 for the attenuator 7, input switching to the left and right earpieces of the headphones 8, and control circuits 14A, 14B of stepping motors 9A, 9B of a multi-channel pen recorder (see Division G1) which records the test results. The interrupter 5 operates to eliminate switching noise from the oscillator 4, and may be a pair of lightdependent resistors and a lamp controlled to fade out the tone signal before frequency switching occurs. In testing, either sound is generated at a given intensity, the frequency being increased stepwise, and the procedure is repeated for a succession of different intensities, or, sound is generated at a given frequency while the intensity is increased stepwise, and the procedure is repeated for a succession of different frequencies.
