psychoacoustic testing

Psychoacoustic testing measures how humans perceive and interpret sound, such as pitch, loudness, and tone. It involves presenting specific sounds or patterns to evaluate auditory sensitivity and processing abilities. These tests help identify hearing issues, differentiate real sounds from illusions, and assess how well the brain interprets complex auditory information. By understanding individual hearing perception, professionals can diagnose hearing impairments, optimize hearing aids, or study auditory processing disorders. Overall, psychoacoustic testing bridges the gap between physical sound properties and how we experience them mentally.
