Area of Science:

  • Auditory Neuroscience
  • Ophthalmology
  • Human Factors Engineering

Background:

  • Sound localization is crucial for auditory perception and spatial awareness.
  • Traditional methods for assessing sound localization can be time-consuming and require specialized equipment.
  • Eye-tracking technology offers a potential non-invasive and efficient alternative for objective measurement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate a novel eye-tracking based method for quantifying sound localization ability.
  • To investigate the impact of mild induced conductive hearing loss on sound localization accuracy using this new method.

Main Methods:

  • Sound localization was assessed by tracking participants' eye movements in response to auditory stimuli presented from various angles.
  • The system's reliability was validated by comparing responses to visual stimuli.
  • A mild conductive hearing loss was simulated to evaluate its effect on sound localization performance.

Main Results:

  • The eye-tracking system demonstrated repeatable measurements with good correlation between sound and visual signal responses.
  • A significant decline of 5.5° in horizontal sound localization accuracy was observed following induced conductive hearing loss, particularly for frontal sound presentations.
  • The method allowed for a high throughput of trials in a relatively short period.

Conclusions:

  • Eye-tracking provides a feasible, rapid, and accurate means for quantifying sound localization.
  • Mild conductive hearing loss can lead to a measurable degradation in sound localization accuracy within the frontal auditory field.
  • This eye-tracking approach offers a promising, less instrument-intensive alternative for clinical and research applications in auditory function assessment.
