KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory adaptation
Auditory adaptation is a temporary reduction in sensitivity to tones of particular frequencies after prolonged exposure to an unchanging sound. When the inducing sound is very loud and the resulting sensitivity loss is more than brief, the effect is usually called auditory fatigue.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory canal
Auditory canal may refer to either the external canal leading from the outer ear to the tympanic membrane (external meatus) or the internal canal in the temporal bone containing the vestibulocochlear nerve (internal meatus). If unspecified, it usually means the external canal, but careful usage avoids that ambiguity; it is compared with the Eustachian tube.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - auditory beat
An auditory beat is a rhythmic waxing and waning in loudness produced when two tones with slightly different frequencies are played together, due to wave interference that alternately reinforces and cancels amplitude; for instance, 256 Hz played with 260 Hz produces a 4 Hz beat, and piano tuners use beat counting. Beats can also occur when the tones are presented separately to each ear (binaural beats).

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 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 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 egocentre (auditory egocenter)
The auditory egocentre is the perceived point near the center of the skull where auditory sensations seem to converge; US spelling is auditory egocenter, and it relates to the broader concept of an egocentre.
