Stochastic undersampling steepens auditory threshold/duration functions: Implications for understanding auditory deafferentation and aging [PDF]
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2015It has long been known that some listeners experience hearing difficulties out of proportion with their audiometric losses. Notably, some older adults as well as auditory neuropathy patients have temporal-processing and speech-in-noise intelligibility ...

The Reliability of Repeated Auditory Threshold Determination [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1963This paper considers the precision which may be expected in short-term serial measurements of audiometric thresholds. Twelve otologically normal young men were tested on four separate occasions at 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 0·5, and 1 kc/s. The tests were carried

This article introduces the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) and describes the use of the N1-P2 response complex as an objective predictor of hearing threshold in adults and older children.

Pulsation threshold in the auditory nerve [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1978Response patterns of single auditory-nerve fibers are compared under two conditions. The first condition is similar to the stimulus condition customarily used to determine pulsation threshold psychophysically. A 100-ms duration signal at a fiber's characteristic frequency (CF) is presented at 10 dB above threshold at a rate of 5/s.

A new auditory threshold estimation technique for low frequencies: proof of concept. [PDF]
Ear Hear, 2013Objectives: Presently available nonbehavioral methods to estimate auditory thresholds perform less well at frequencies below 1 kHz than at 1 kHz and above.

Auditory brainstem responses and auditory thresholds in woodpeckers [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2013Auditory sensitivity in three species of woodpeckers was estimated using the auditory brainstem response (ABR), a measure of the summed electrical activity of auditory neurons. For all species, the ABR waveform showed at least two, and sometimes three prominent peaks occurring within 10 ms of stimulus onset.

The acute effects of alcohol on auditory thresholds [PDF]
BMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders, 2007There is very little knowledge about alcohol-induced hearing loss. Alcohol consumption and tolerance to loud noise is a well observed phenomenon as seen in the Western world where parties get noisier by the hour as the evening matures. This leads to increase in the referrals to the "hearing aid clinic" and the diagnosis of "cocktail party deafness ...

Auditory Threshold as a Function of Forced-Choice Technique, Feedback, and Motivation [PDF]
, 1962Shifts in the threshold of hearing were determined as a function of prolonged testing (12 sessions) with four experimental groups: forced‐choice‐feedback, no‐forced‐choice‐feedback, forced‐choice‐no‐feedback, and no‐forced‐choice‐no‐feedback.

Multi-neuronal auditory coding for frequency resolution beyond the refractory threshold [PDF]
arXiv, 2006We propose a new mechanism for high-pitch perception by a system of multiple neurons capable of resolving frequencies higher than the frequency associated with the mean refractory period up to a multiple thereof.

Prestimulus Network Integration of Auditory Cortex Predisposes Near-Threshold Perception Independently of Local Excitability [PDF]
Cerebral Cortex, 2015An ever-increasing number of studies are pointing to the importance of network properties of the brain for understanding behavior such as conscious perception. However, with regards to the influence of prestimulus brain states on perception, this network
