Abstract
Forward masking occurs when a less intense sound follows a more intense one, and is difficult to appreciate. Backward masking occurs when the less intense, masked sound precedes the louder sound. Examples of this situation are: (1) the difficulty in appreciating splitting of S 2 followed closely by a loud opening snap; (2) difficulty hearing S 1 followed by a loud pansystolic murmur.
