It is simply a band of noise that is focused is a very narrow band of frequencies, with steep filter slopes, to produce a noise stimulus suitable for threshold estimation. For example, this is a spec…
What is the threshold equalizing noise (TEN) test? The threshold equalizing noise (TEN) test measures pure tone thresholds with a special masking noise called TEN. The TEN test is a quick and easy wa…

What is the masking level difference (MLD)? The masking level difference (MLD) is the improvement in detecting a tone or speech in noise when the phase of the tone or the noise is reversed by 180 deg…
What is the speech in noise (SIN) test? The speech in noise (SIN) test is a method of testing a patient’s functional hearing in the presence of competing sound (Taylor, 2003). The objective of this i…
