Masking in Hearing Tests Quiz

Masking is needed if there is a chance that the stimulus might cross over from the test ear to the nontest ear.

Cross hearing is the detection of a stimulus sound in the nontest ear.

Interaural attenuation is the reduction of sound as it crosses the head from one ear to the other.
