Hörauflösung
Hörauflösung is a term used in hearing science to describe the ability of the auditory system to resolve distinct acoustic events as separate percepts. It encompasses both spectral (frequency) resolution and temporal (timing) resolution, reflecting how finely sounds are encoded and differentiated by the ear and the auditory pathways. In practice, hörauflösung refers to how well the auditory system can distinguish close-in-frequency sounds, rapid changes in amplitude or pitch, and brief gaps in noise or speech.
Spectral resolution concerns the ear’s frequency selectivity and the precision with which different tones can be
Physiologically, hörauflösung depends on the integrity of cochlear mechanics, hair cell transduction, neural synchrony, and central
Clinically and technologically, hörauflösung informs diagnostic evaluation, rehabilitation planning, and the design of hearing aids and
