Recognition of Telegraphy Disturbed by Noise at Different S/N-Ratios and Different Telegraphy SpeedsA Comparison to Short-Tone Audiometry

The ability to recognize telegraphy at different S/N ratios and telegraphy speeds was compared for 10 normal-hearing men trained in detecting telegraphy. The ability to recognize telegraphy disturbed by noise decreased with increasing telegraphy speed and reduced S/N ratio. The recognition of telegraphy disturbed by noise seems to follow the relations known from experiments with short-tone audiometry.
