masking level difference
masking level difference Masking level difference is a laboratory measure of binaural hearing that describes how much the threshold for just detecting a sound in noise changes when the signal or the masking noise is presented differently to the two ears, such as with a phase inversion at one ear.
Masking level difference is a laboratory measure of binaural hearing that describes how much the threshold for just detecting a sound in noise changes when the signal or the masking noise is presented differently to the two ears, such as with a phase inversion at one ear. It reflects the improvement in detecting a signal in noise that can occur when the brain uses differences between the ears.
