Pathological binaural phase time delay (PBTD) asynchrony is measured at a variety of frequencies and to speech stimuli to develop a BPTD profile for a subject. Then a corrective device (600, 1000) is designed to apply clinical PBTD to compensate for the subject's pathological BPTD. An electronic device (500) is used to measure the subject's ability to comprehend words at a variety of relative time delays between ears to estimate the ideal overall relative time delay. The optimal relative phase shift at a variety of frequencies is also measured. An electronic device (600) may be used to correct the pathological BPTD by delaying sound in different frequency bands differently to the target ear, according to the BPTD profile, or a passive filtered earplug (1000) may be used to correct smaller amounts of BPTD.

On mesure une asynchronie pathologique du délai de propagation de phase bi-auriculaire (délai BPTD) à diverses fréquences et en réaction à divers stimuli vocaux, pour mettre au point le profil BPTD d'un sujet. Puis, on conçoit un dispositif correcteur (600, 1000) destiné à appliquer un délai BPTD clinique visant à corriger le BPTD pathologique du sujet. On utilise un dispositif électronique (500) pour mesurer la capacité du sujet à comprendre des mots avec divers délais relatifs entre les oreilles, en vue d'évaluer le délai relatif global idéal. Le déphasage relatif optimal à diverses fréquences est également mesuré. On peut utiliser un dispositif électronique (600) pour corriger le délai BPTD pathologique en retardant les sons dans différentes bandes de fréquence, différemment selon l'oreille cible, en fonction du profil BPTD, ou un bouchon auriculaire passif (100) peut être utilisé pour corriger les plus petites amplitudes de BPTD.
