Fall 2022 SLH 341 Lab 3 Masking 1. What is cross hearing? It is when a test signal is intense enough that it can cross over and stimulate the non-test ear. 2. What is interaural attenuation? It is the amount of sound energy that is attenuated by the skull when it crosses over from the test ear to the non-test ear. It is the number of dB lost when the signal cross the skull. This can vary based on the transducer type. 3. When do you need to mask for air conduction? (HINT: formula) Begin masking non-test ear at the Initial Masking Level (IML) “threshold” IML = AC NTE + 10 4. When do you need to mask for bone conduction? (HINT: formula) Begin masking non-test ear at the Initial Masking Level (IML) IML = AC NTE + 10 + Occlusion Effect OE @ 250 Hz = 30 dB OE @ 500 Hz = 20 dB OE @ 1000 Hz = 10 dB 5. How much initial effective masking level do you need for AC masking? (HINT: formula) Mask if: AC (test ear) – IA ( 40 dB or 60 dB ) ≥ BC (non-test ear). 6. How much initial effective masking level do you need for BC masking? (HINT: formula) Begin masking non-test ear at the Initial Masking Level (IML) IML = AC NTE + 10 + Occlusion Effect OE @ 250 Hz = 30 dB OE @ 500 Hz = 20 dB
Fall 2022 SLH 341 OE @ 1000 Hz = 10 dB 7. The __ Plateau__ method is used in clinical masking. In this method, you __________ (select one: increase/decrease) the _________ (select one: tone/ noise) level by 5 dB HL for each response , and you __________ (select one: increase/decrease) the __________ (select one: tone/noise) level by 5 dB HL for each non-response . Masking is done when you get ____ 3___ raises in a row in the noise level without affecting the level of the tone that evokes a response. 8. Please place earplugs on your partner. Perform masking on bone conduction thresholds (using supra-aural headphones).
