Title: RE: looking for recommendation for in-ear microphones

Hi Michael,

 

If you don’t want to build your own using a probe tube and a miniature microphone as

Mike suggested, you can check out the ER-7C probe microphone from Etymotic Research. Its noise

floor is a little bit high, but may be fine for your application. We do such measurements

often in the lab.

Hello Michael,

We have used Knowles miniature microphones <http://www.knowles.com/search/product.htm?x_sub_cat_id=8> for many years for many purposes, including in-ear sound pressure recordings.  We used a probe tube (as do most other people who make such recordings), which can cause noise floor problems at high frequencies.  The fairly new FG series of microphones from Knowles is small enough that you could probably put the entire microphone in the ear canal without affecting the sound field too much.  (I see that the GA series is even smaller, but we have not used them yet.)  I assume that this is for human subjects.

Best regards,
   Mike
