Stimulated by a recent paper by Platt and Racine (1985), we discuss the factors that probably are involved in certain inconsistencies observed in pitch judgments of tones with different spectral composition. Typically, discrepancies reported in the literature are of the order of 10 cents in magnitude. We point out that measurement of such small pitch effects is heavily dependent on systematic i...

OBJECTIVE Accessibility of audiometry is hindered by the cost of sound booths and shortage of hearing health personnel. This study investigated the validity of an automated mobile diagnostic audiometer with increased attenuation and real-time noise monitoring for clinical testing outside a sound booth. DESIGN Attenuation characteristics and reference ambient noise levels for the computer-base...

Measurements were made of the transient response of PDR-8 earphones. These data indicate that the original estimate of the onset-duration of auditory stimuli can be revised downward to 0.8 ms. Implicit in the results is a caveat on the faith one should have in the output of commonly used earphones with shortor single-transient inputs. Onset-duration, the duration below which only cues derived f...

<span>Auscultation training devices are needed by teachers and students in health schools to practice auscultation techniques. In this paper, a low-cost IoT-based device has been developed using NodeMCU, four proximity sensors, metal as stethoscope, switch, an android smartphone, earphone, phantom doll. The message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) protocol used for data communication be...

In recent years, particular attention has been devoted to earable acoustic sensing due its numerous applications. However, the lack of a common platform for accessing raw audio samples forced researchers/developers pay great efforts trifles prototyping often irrelevant core functions. Meanwhile, growing popularity active noise cancellation (ANC) endowed earphones with high standard capability y...
