okluusioefektin
Okluusioefektin, known in English as the occlusion effect, is a psychoacoustic phenomenon observed when the ear canal is occluded by an object such as an earplug, a canal-type hearing aid, or an earmold. The effect is characterized by an increased perception of low-frequency sounds transmitted through bone conduction when the ear canal is blocked.
The mechanism involves the way sound energy from skull vibrations interacts with the air-filled ear canal.
Clinical relevance is significant in the fitting and design of hearing devices. The occlusion effect can cause
Measurement and management strategies focus on assessing the perceptual impact of occlusion during fitting and choosing
