Abstract
To determine an auditory threshold of a test subject, according to the method, multiple tone sets, which predominantly contain a plurality of noises, having properties remaining uniform within a tone set, are presented in succession to a test subject by use of an output transducer. The test subject is asked to indicate a perceived number of noises from the presented tone set after each presentation of one of these tone sets. As a function of the perceived number of noises, a property of at least one part of the noises is changed in relation to the preceding tone set for the presentation of a following tone set and the following tone set is presented to the test subject. As a function of the respective perceived number of noises in the presented tone sets, at least one value of the auditory threshold of the test subject is estimated.
