%DEMO_ABSOLUTETHRESHOLD Standards for absolute threshold of hearing
%
% This demos generates a simple figure that shows the behaviour of
% the different standards for absolute thresholds of hearing.
%
% Figure 1: Thresholds of hearing by standard
%
% The figure shows the behaviour of the different absolute thresholds of
% hearing.
%
% Figure 2: High frequencies
%
% Absolute thesholds for the ER2A and the Sennheiser HDA-200
% earphones are provided up to 16 kHz.
