N2 - We investigated the azimuth angle characteristics of head related transfer function (HRTF) at very high frequency region using two kinds of head and torso simulators (HATS). In the measurement of hearing thresholds, there are two ways using a headphone or a loudspeaker. In general, it will be carried out using a loudspeaker because sound pressure calibration and measurement are simple. However, the hearing threshold which measured using a loudspeaker at very high frequency region may contain some errors because sound pressure level (SPL) reaching the ear are seriously affected by a small movement of the head. Also, the SPL near the pinna seriously depends on both shapes of a pinna and a head because excess attenuation by diffraction of VHF sound is very large. To provide assurance for the accuracy measurement of hearing threshold, it is important to make clear the relationship between the SPL and shape of head and/or ear. In this paper, we reported the HRTFs calculated from the SPLs measured at three different positions of left ear - a tragus, an auricle and an eardrum and discussed the influence of head and/or ear of HATS from the azimuth angle characteristics of these HRTFs.
