Iowa Researcher Develops Pitch Range Audiometer
Cordin C. Bunch, a psychology research assistant at the University of Iowa, perfected a pitch range audiometer that measures hearing acuity across the human ear. The device aids ear diagnosis and supports musical talent analysis in the psychology laboratory, with wartime uses for U-boat listener selection and preps for radio men in the S A T C era. Preliminary hospital tests and demonstrations are planned at the Atlantic City otology convention where Dr. L W Dean will present results. The instrument is praised as a significant advance for psychology and medical science, enabling early detection of ear trouble in children for timely treatment.
