"2cc" refers to a coupler according to IEC 60318-5:2006. "Ear simulator" refers to a coupler according to IEC 60318-4:2010.
Applied versions: IEC 60118-0 /A1:1994, IEC 60118-1 /A1:1998, IEC 60118-7: 2005, ANSI S3.22: 2014, IEC 60118-0:2015.
Full-on gain is measured with the gain control of the hearing instruments set to its full-on position minus 20 dB and with an input SPL of 70 dB. This is to obtain a gain response equal to the full-on gain response from e.g. IEC 60118-0+A1:1994 but without influence of feedback.
