Clinical Use of Aided Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials as a Measure of Physiological Detection or Physiological Discrimination

Figure 3

Frequency spectra of hearing aid noise for each of the three hearing aid conditions. Values are 1/3 octave bands with center frequencies between 200 and 6300 Hz. Hearing aid noise was measured for the 59-dB signal level condition for each recording. The general pattern of noise spectra is similar across conditions with a spectral peak at 1000 Hz, the frequency of the signal. The noise floor of the measurement system is shown with the dashed line (note: the lower limit of the sound level meter was 10.5 dB).
