Abstract :
In this paper, we describe the development of a new technique for the assessment of hearing thresholds in the range 8-20 kHz. We describe a model that circumvents some major difficulties encountered by present audiometric methods at high frequencies, and we present measurements that validate that model. A technique that can provide accurate and reliable measurements is described and evaluated.
