Передаточная функция наружного уха является важной характеристикой органа слуха, определяемой акустическими свойствами ушной раковины и наружного слухового прохода, их формой и размерами. Также, вероятно, имеет значение акустический импеданс барабанной перепонки.</p><p>Частотные характеристики передаточной функция наружного уха должны учитываться при выборе индивидуальных средств защиты от шума и в слухопротезировании. Проведённые разными исследователями измерения зондовым микрофоном распределения звукового давления вдоль слухового прохода показали, что для частот выше 3 кГц оно может значительно изменяться. В то же время отмечалось, что относительные измерения реальных акустических характеристик слуховых аппаратов и индивидуальных средств защиты от шума, когда конец микрофонного зонда не меняет положения, достаточно точны. (Sullivan, 1988; Traynor, Ackley, Wiersbowsky, 1989; Johnson, Nelson, 1991; Hellstrom, Axelsson, 1993; Searchﬁeld, Purdy, 1997).</p><p>Цель исследования — оценка воспроизводимости метода F-MIRE и точности результатов измерения передаточной функции наружного уха при фиксации зондового микрофона проволочной скобой из комплекта приспособлений микрофона. Определение возможных изменений акустических характеристик наружного уха при действии шума различного уровня, их связи с размерами ушной раковины и наружного слухового прохода, состоянием слуховой функции.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. Методом F-MIRE (микрофон в реальном ухе) в третьоктавных полосах частот и в частотных коррекциях А и С неоднократно измерялась передаточная функция наружного уха (TFOE) при действии широкополосного шума различных уровней у 17 испытуемых (16 мужчин и 1 женщина) в возрасте от 25 до 80 лет в условиях звуковой камеры. Определялись геометрические размеры ушной раковины и слухового прохода. Все испытуемые были осмотрены врачом-отоларингологом с проведением аудиологического исследования.

The transfer function of the outer ear is an important characteristic of the hearing organ, determined by the acoustic properties of the auricle and the external auditory canal, their shape and size. The acoustic impedance of the eardrum is also likely to matter.</p><p>The frequency characteristics of the transmission function of the outer ear must be taken into account when choosing individual noise protection devices and when prosthetics of the hearing organs. Measurements of the sound pressure distribution along the auditory canal carried out by various researchers with a probe microphone have shown that for frequencies above 3 kHz, it can vary significantly. At the same time, it was noted that the relative measurements of the actual acoustic characteristics of hearing aids and individual noise protection devices, when the end of the microphone probe does not change position, are quite accurate (Sullivan, 1988; Traynor, Ackley, Wiersbowsky, 1989; Johnson, Nelson 1991; Hellstrom, Axelsson, 1993; Searchfield, Purdy, 1997).</p><p>The study aims to evaluate the reproducibility of the F-MIRE method and the accuracy of the measurement results of the transfer function of the outer ear when fixing the probe microphone with a wire bracket from a set of microphone devices; to determine possible changes in the acoustic characteristics of the outer ear under the influence of noise of various levels, their relationship with the size of the auricle and the external auditory canal, the state of auditory function.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. Using the F-MIRE method (microphone in a real ear) in the third-octave frequency bands and in frequency corrections A and C, specialists repeatedly measured the transfer function of the outer ear (TFOE) when exposed to broadband noise of various levels in 17 subjects (16 men and 1 woman) aged 25 to 80 years in a sound chamber. The  researchers determined the geometric dimensions of the auricle and the auditory canal. The otolaryngologist examined all the subjects with an audiological examination. Each subject gave informed consent to participate in the study.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Experts have established according to the data of the conducted research:</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. The present study is an attempt to evaluate the capabilities of the MIRE (F-MIRE) method, its reproducibility and accuracy. The researchers have shown the potential of the method for analyzing the effects of noise on hearing and understanding the influence of various factors on the accuracy of sound pressure measurements in the external auditory canal.</p></sec><sec><title>Funding</title><p>Funding.
