Abstract:
Study was carried out in frequency range 8-18 kHz with audiometer AS 10 HF. Lack of internationally accepted reference value of the hearing threshold of air conduction at extended frequency range resulted in own evaluation of the audiometric zero point for air conduction at the range 8-18 kHz in "otologically healthy" subjects younger than 20 years. They were divided into subgroup A and B according to age. Investigation of the threshold values for air conduction at extended range of high frequencies were base for evaluation of the audiometric zero value for the used equipment.

Perceiving Loudness, Pitch, and Location
Place theory, or place coding, suggests that different pitches are heard because various sound waves activate specific locations along the cochlea's basilar membrane. The brain determines the pitch of a sound by identifying...

Sound Intensity Level
The human ear can perceive an extensive range of sound intensity, necessitating the use of the logarithmic scale to define a physical quantity—the intensity level. It is a ratio of two intensities and hence a...
