... and has moved into my "Don't waste time reading these posts list"A DBT consists of a sighted audition and a blind audition taking place minutes apart ... using the same people and equipment -- but the results are quite different.
You choose to believe sighted audition audibility claims without question ... while I consider the fact that blind audition data frequently fails to support sighted audition claims, therefore sighted auditions are usually not proven to be reliable.
