Abstract
Nonsimultaneous masking experiments (forward masking, pulsation threshold), using a two-tone masker, have shown effects similar to two-tone inhibition in auditory-nerve fibers. In the present experiment, backward masking was examined with five subjects where the masker contained a 1000-Hz, 40-dB SPL masker and a second tone of variable frequency at 70 dB SPL, called the suppressor. The test signal was 1000 Hz. For certain suppressor frequencies, the masker suppressor combinations produced less masking than the 40-dB SPL masker alone.
