Delayed auditory feedback. Delayed Auditory Feedback ( DAF ), also called delayed sidetone, is a type of altered auditory feedback that consists of extending the time between speech and auditory perception. [1] It can consist of a device that enables a user to speak into a microphone and then hear their voice in headphones a fraction of a ...
The microwave auditory effect, also known as the microwave hearing effect or the Frey effect, consists of the human perception of sounds induced by pulsed or modulated radio frequencies. The perceived sounds are generated directly inside the human head without the need of any receiving electronic device. The effect was first reported by persons ...
Patulous Eustachian tube is the name of a physical disorder where the Eustachian tube, which is normally closed, instead stays intermittently open. When this occurs, the person experiences autophony, the hearing of self-generated sounds. [1] These sounds, such as one's own breathing, voice, and heartbeat, vibrate directly onto the ear drum and ...
Minimum inhibitory concentration. In microbiology, the minimum inhibitory concentration ( MIC) is the lowest concentration of a chemical, usually a drug, which prevents visible in vitro growth of bacteria or fungi. [1] [2] MIC testing is performed in both diagnostic [1] [2] and drug discovery laboratories.
Real ear measurement is the measurement of sound pressure level in a patient's ear canal developed when a hearing aid is worn. It is measured with the use of a silicone probe tube inserted in the canal connected to a microphone outside the ear and is done to verify that the hearing aid is providing suitable amplification for a patient's hearing ...
Audio feedback (also known as acoustic feedback, simply as feedback) is a positive feedback situation that may occur when an acoustic path exists between an audio output (for example, a loudspeaker) and its audio input (for example, a microphone or guitar pickup ). In this example, a signal received by the microphone is amplified and passed out ...
Harvard sentences. The Harvard sentences, or Harvard lines, [1] is a collection of 720 sample phrases, divided into lists of 10, used for standardized testing of Voice over IP, cellular, and other telephone systems. They are phonetically balanced sentences that use specific phonemes at the same frequency they appear in English.
Sidetone. Sidetone is audible feedback to someone speaking or otherwise producing sound as an indication of active transmission. Sidetone is introduced by some communications circuits and anti-sidetone circuitry is used to control its level. Sidetone is expected behavior for telephone systems. Absence of sidetone can cause users to believe the ...
