Description
KEMAR – the head for hearing aid testing and R&D – has been designed with median human adult dimensions and the ear simulation matches the acoustic response with an auricle, an ear canal, and an eardrum that equal the median ear in dimensions, acoustic impedance, and modes.
A close cooperation with audiologists and the thorough research resulted in the standardization of KEMAR by ANSI in 1976 soon to be followed by the IEC. This makes KEMAR the first and most well documented head (and torso) simulator for hearing aid testing.
N.B. The microphones in the KEMAR head are currently not working.
