masking-level difference

masking-level difference

An audiology term of art for the difference between masking effects under homophasic and antiphasic conditions. The binaural masking-level difference is measured as a function of duration of a uniform masking noise and of test tones (e.g., at 400 Hz and 800 Hz).
