Introduction The 43AC Ear Simulator Kit is a Test jig for measurements on hearing aids and insert-type ear- phones. Ear simulator, preamplifier and accessories are included. Spring-loaded clamp for holding earphone in place(not used in 43AC) Ear Simulator RA0052 Test Fig.
Please note that the spring-loaded arm is part of the RA0052 Test Jig as delivered, but in the 43AC it is normally not used to hold the DUT when testing ITE and BTE transducers, and it can therefore be ignored.
