Central Masking: Fact or Artifact?

Abstract: Fourteen people with normal hearing participated in a study that used signal detection theory to examine central auditory masking. Participants were tested in a sound-attenuating chamber. Absolute thresholds for stimuli (1000 Hz pure-tone, white noise masker at 40 dB SL) were established: first for the tone, then for the tone in combination with the masker in the contralateral ear. A mean threshold increase (3.8 dB) demonstrated central masking. Contrary to prediction, a paired-samples t-test revealed signific… Show more

“…The width of the plateau is about 15 dB. Neglecting the central masking effect [39], the desired hearing threshold must be located at a hearing level of 65 dB, too. The AP-S, in contrast, is incapable of handling the plateau method, mainly because the underlying sound pressure matrix 0 is rank deficient.…”
