A simple clinical measure of frequency resolution.
A simple procedure for obtaining a 3-point approximation to a psychoacoustical tuning curve (PTC) using a clinical audiometer and tape recorder is described. Data from 45 normally-hearing subjects are presented in terms of distributions of scores amongst subjects and repeatability within subjects. The procedure has proven to be rapid and tractable and provides results which are comparable to more time-consuming methods.
