Once the measurement in the ear has been obtained, the response in the
coupler can be measured. Electing to use a disposable tip for acquisition of
the measurement in the ear, the response in the coupler can be measured
only with the adapter (1): this situation is identified as the HA1
configuration. Accordingly, connect the adapter (1) to the coupler, and the
insert transducer to the tip. Finally, attach the tip to the adapter, if necessary
with the aid of adhesive insulating putty to ensure the two parts are securely
connected (the insulating putty need not be used if the tip covers the hole
sufficiently, without leaving any gaps). The correct position is illustrated in
the following image:
