Development of a 500-Hz masking-level difference protocol for clinic use.
The purpose of this series of experiments was to develop a simple, 500-Hz masking-level difference (MLD) protocol that could be implemented easily in the clinic to assess auditory perceptual abilities using an audio compact disc. Five, 300-ms tones with 250-ms intertone intervals were embedded in 3-s bursts of 200-800 Hz noise presented at 42.2-dB pressure-spectrum level with 4-5 s interstimulu...
متن کاملThe masking-level difference in children.
The masking-level difference (MLD) was investigated in children aged 3.9 to 9.5 years and in an adult control group in order to examine the development of the MLD with age. A three-alternative forced-choice adaptive tracking procedure was used for all listeners. MLDs were determined for a 500-Hz pure-tone signal presented in a 300-Hz-wide masking noise centered on 500 Hz, where both interaural ...
متن کاملHow is a grating detected on a narrowband noise masker?
Thresholds were measured for detecting 4 cpd gratings added to maskers consisting of nine sinusoidal components spanning 1 octave around the signal frequency. Phases of all mask components were randomized on every presentation. To assess their importance, contrast differences were either rendered unreliable by introducing contrast jitter between-intervals, or eliminated by equating contrast ene...
متن کاملThe masking-level difference in low-noise noise.
In experiment 1 NoSo and NoS pi thresholds for a 500-Hz pure tone were obtained in a low-fluctuation masking noise and a high-fluctuation masking noise for six normal-hearing listeners. The noise bandwidth was 10 Hz. In agreement with previous investigations, the NoSo thresholds were lower in low-fluctuation noise than in high-fluctuation noise. For three listeners, NoS pi thresholds were simil...
متن کاملMeasurement of the 2f1-f2 cubic difference tone with the binaural masking-level difference.
Stimulus-like properties of the 2f1-f2 cubic difference tone (CDT) were examined by determining whether a binaural masking-level difference (BMLD) could be obtained for a 500-Hz physical tone to one ear and a CDT of the same frequency to the other ear. Masked thresholds for the physical tone (signal) were obtained as the phase of this tone varied through 360 degrees relative to harmonically rel...
