The recording contains word and sentence lists, male and female discourses and music, as heard by people with -

  • Flat 40 dB hearing loss

  • Flat 25 dB hearing loss

  • Normal hearing to 1kHz, then a loss sloping at 30dB/octave

  • Normal hearing to 2 kHz, then a loss sloping at 30dB/octave

  • Normal hearing

The recording also contain some tinnitus sounds simulated at different frequencies and with different band widths and time patterns.
