Abstract
This paper examines the characteristics of the probe-tube microphone and its use in measuring sound pressure in the ear canal. Specifically the paper studies the free field and the coupler calibrations of several probe-tube microphones with tubes of different sizes and determines which characteristics of a probe tube are necessary for accurate measurements in both a free field and in a closed coupler.
