KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory fatigue
Auditory fatigue is a temporary loss of hearing sensitivity after exposure to a loud tone, typically affecting not only the tone’s frequency but extending up to roughly one octave above it; it is compared with auditory adaptation.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory flutter
Auditory flutter (auditory flicker) is the perception of intermittently interrupted sound when the interruption rate is below the flutter-fusion threshold, so the listener still hears the sound as broken rather than continuous; it is compared to visual flicker.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory flutter fusion
Auditory flutter fusion (auditory flicker fusion) is the lowest interruption rate at which a listener stops hearing flutter and instead perceives a continuous sound, analogous to critical flicker frequency in vision; it is abbreviated AFF.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory fusion
Auditory fusion is perceiving two or more sounds as a single sound; when the sounds are delivered to different ears it is called binaural fusion, and it is compared with the precedence effect.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory hallucination
An auditory hallucination is hearing a sound—most often voices—without an external source. Some definitions exclude voices perceived as inside the head, but major diagnostic manuals such as DSM-5 and ICD-10 do not make that exclusion.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory illusion
An auditory illusion is any illusory hearing experience, with many forms including localization illusions, Shepard’s auditory staircase illusion, the missing fundamental, phonemic restoration, and various musical paradoxes. These are contrasted with tactile and visual illusions, and it is noted that the Doppler effect is not strictly illusory.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory masking
Auditory masking occurs when one sound (the masking stimulus) obscures another (the test stimulus), raising the test stimulus’s absolute threshold or reducing its perceived loudness. Masking can be forward (masker before), simultaneous (together), or backward (masker after), and forward/backward masking can occur when the masker is within about 100 milliseconds of the test sound; related ideas include central masking and critical bands.

Auditory meatus is another term for the external or internal auditory canal; the name comes from Latin meaning “passage.”

KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory receptive field
An auditory receptive field is the spatial region around the head from which sounds elicit responses in a particular auditory neuron. Research on barn owls—known for exceptionally precise sound localization—shows neurons in auditory cortex and midbrain can be tuned to very specific spatial areas, paralleling receptive-field concepts.
