This course will cover the topics of Audiometry, Loudness and Masking.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the scientific background of pure tone audiometry and how it can be used to measure hearing thresholds
  • Explore the concept of masking and its relation to the motion of the basilar membrane within the inner ear
  • Understand the definition and description of loudness and the psychoacoustics of the loudness curve
