METHOD FOR DETERMINING A MASKING INTENSITY IN A CONTRATERAL EAR AND ASSOCIATED ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Abstract

An audiometric test method comprising the following steps: - Simultaneous application of a test tone to one ear (210) at a test intensity, and of a masking tone, at a masking intensity, to a contralateral ear (220) to mask the test tone, the method being characterized in that it comprises the following steps: - Repetition of the following steps: Determination of a current Rinne value, determination that the current Rinne value is compatible, if there exists a current intensity such that if the masking intensity is equal to the current intensity and the Rinne value of ear (210) or contralateral ear (220) is equal to the current Rinne value, then the test tone is not perceived by the contralateral ear (220) and the masking tone does not prevent the perception of the test tone by ear (210), - Determination of the masking intensity from a compatible current Rinne value maximum.
