Simultaneous, Manual, and Auto Modes In Simultaneous Mode, five polar plot curves are
measured simultaneously A Composite source signal is used to take the
measurements. The response at specified frequencies is graphed
In Manual Mode, the user selects the curve to measure. A Puretone signal at the user specified frequency or a Composite source is used.
In Auto Mode, the user can pre-save manual measurements and run curves automatically

Testing Open Fit Hearing Aids The Open Fit Coupler was designed to
Provide a realistic response for open fit hearing aids.
Provide an easy mechanism for attaching an open fit hearing aid to a coupler
The Open Fit Coupler is a non-standard sized coupler not designed to test to manufacturing specifications

Enhanced DSP Designed to measure the "group delay" of a
DSP aid. In other words, the actual digital processing time of a hearing aid. 0 ms for analog aids 1-12 ms for DSP Great way to check if aid is analog or DSP
Also tests the "phase" of a hearing aid. This is useful for binaural fittings. Are the aids working together?
![Page 30: Introduction to the 8000 Hearing Aid Test System](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812aa0550346895d8e643a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Technical Details: Group Delay
An impulse signal is delivered to the hearing aid. The time of the maximum peak of the response is considered the group delay. The 7000 system delay is subtracted from this value to obtain the final measurement.
![Page 31: Introduction to the 8000 Hearing Aid Test System](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812aa0550346895d8e643a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Technical Details: Phase
One pulse of a 1000 Hz cosine signal is delivered to the aid. This signal is 1 msec long. The first 20 msec of the aid's response to the signal is displayed in graphical format.
