Adaptation is a main property of sensory receptors. In a basis of adaptation are properties of peripheral receptors and central neuron. There is a question: what is the auditory adaptation mechanism to short high frequency stimuli? How the auditory system can trace stimulus amplitude changes? The probable answer is: stimuli are mixed with noise of different origin. Noise adapts hearing and improves discrimination of stimulus. Simulation researches of peripheral encoding were shown the amplitude structure of short stimulus acting in isolation or in noise could be preserved when intensity are not far from thresholds of fibers. For each stimulus level there is the certain noise level, when amplitude structure can be detected without losses. In this work the validity of these statements was checked up in auditory experiments. The thresholds of intensity discrimination (ID) for short stimulus presented in silence and in conditions of simultaneous and forward masking have been estimated. In a range of average stimulus intensity and for each stimulus level there is the certain noise level when ID is better in noise but not in silence. The ID facilitation is registered near to the stimulus detection thresholds and after adaptation of hearing by noise. Results of auditory researches correspond to the simulation results.
