title: Recognition of telegraphy disturbed by noise at different S/N-ratios and different telegraphy speeds. A comparison to short-tone audiometry.
abstract: The ability to recognize telegraphy at different S/N ratios and telegraphy speeds was compared for 10 normal-hearing men trained in detecting telegraphy. The ability to recognize telegraphy disturbed by noise decreased with increasing telegraphy speed and reduced S/N ratio. The recognition of telegraphy disturbed by noise seems to follow the relations known from experiments with short-tone audiometry.
