General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

hold on there

"They are grafting pseudo-knowledge of the DBT which was made for the medical profession onto audio testing - and it's not the same thing."

DBTs are for anything pertaining to human studies and I'm pretty sure the ear/brain falls under that umbrella.

Psychoacoustics is an entire branch of science. It has been around for a long long time and a great deal of technology has been made possible from a multitude of studies in psychoacoustiscs. All recording and playback technology is tied to studies in psychoacoustics. All of it. And double blind protocols have been the gold standard for that entire field of studies.

There is nothing inappropriate about using blind protocols in any listening evaluations. Quite the opposite. Without blind protocols the results are considered junk by any scientific peer review panel.


And when it comes to executing blind protocols in listening tests your title doesn't matter. Your protocols matter. Participants in blind listening tests don't turn deaf because the proctor doesn't have an M.D. behind their name.
