Figure 4: Analysis bandwidths of some real-ear analyzers and critical bands for a normal ear. If the
analysis bandwidth is less than a critical band, aided response curves shown to be at threshold (or
UCL) will actually be well above it.
Figure 5: Output (left) and Gain (right) curves for a linear hearing aid, generated using a swept tone
(1) and pink noise analyzed in 1/12 octave bands (2). (Dual view not available in RM500SL)
