Abstract:This is a continuation of work by a number of investigators on the dependency of binaural masking-level differences (MLDs) upon signal frequency and noise spectrum level. Monaural (SM) and binaural (Sn]signals of 150, 250, 500, and 1,200 Hz were employed. The spectrum level of correlated noise (NO) was varied between + 10 and +55 dB. The results show that, with very low noise levels (+10 dB), the largest MLDs for monaural and binaural signals are obtained at 500 Hz (4 and 9 dB, respectively). As the noise leve… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
