In the discrimination and localization tests you were asked NOT to press down hard so as to not activate Pacinian corpuscles.

A reading of 0 deciBel Hearing Level on the audiometer means the tone is

At a sound pressure level that is the mean normal hearing threshold for humans for that frequency

Turned off at that frequency

Indicating that there is a hearing loss at that frequency

At a sound pressure level that is the highest level humans can hear at that frequency

At a sound pressure level that is 0 deciBels Sound Pressure Level for humans for that frequency

In prolonged psychophysics tests the subject's attention may wander. For this reason you were asked to blindfold the subject so that they couldn't keep track of the number of trials.

In the simulation, women's hearing at any age was better than men's hearing. This was most likely

Due to female hearing having less middle ear amplification

Due to female hearing having a more powerful efferent protective pathway

Due to the two populations being exposed to different levels of occupational or recreational noise

100%

Due to female hearing having a larger Eustachian tube to filter noise

Due to female hearing being protected by female sex hormones
