Interaural Level Difference Optimization of Binaural Ambisonic Rendering [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2019 Ambisonics is a spatial audio technique appropriate for dynamic binaural rendering due to its sound field rotation and transformation capabilities, which has made it popular for virtual reality applications.

Adjustment of Interaural-Time-Difference Analysis to Sound Level [PDF]
, 2010 To localize low-frequency sound sources in azimuth, the binaural system compares the timing of sound waves at the two ears with microsecond precision. A similarly high precision is also seen in the binaural processing of the envelopes of high-frequency complex sounds.

Effects of interaural decoherence on sensitivity to interaural level differences across frequency
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2021 The interaural level difference (ILD) is a robust indicator of sound source azimuth, and human ILD sensitivity persists under conditions that degrade normally-dominant interaural time difference (ITD) cues. Nonetheless, ILD sensitivity varies somewhat with both stimulus frequency and interaural correlation (coherence).

Interaural level difference sensitivity in neonatally deafened rats fitted with bilateral cochlear implants [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBilateral cochlear implant (CI) patients exhibit significant limitations in spatial hearing. Their ability to process interaural time differences (ITDs) is often impaired, while their ability to process interaural level differences (ILDs) remains ...

Temporal effects in interaural and sequential level difference perception [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017 Temporal effects in interaural level difference (ILD) perception are not well understood. While it is often assumed that ILD sensitivity is independent of the temporal stimulus properties, a reduction of ILD sensitivity for stimuli with a high modulation rate has been reported (known under the term binaural adaptation).

Neuronal specializations for the processing of interaural difference cues in the chick [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014 Sound information is encoded as a series of spikes of the auditory nerve fibers (ANFs), and then transmitted to the brainstem auditory nuclei. Features such as timing and level are extracted from ANFs activity and further processed as the interaural time

Onset- and offset-specific effects in interaural level difference discrimination [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2012 The relative sensitivity of human listeners to interaural level differences (ILDs) carried by the onsets, offsets, and interior portions of brief sounds was examined. Stimuli consisted of single 4000-Hz Gabor clicks (Gaussian-windowed tone bursts) or trains of 16 such clicks repeating at an interclick interval (ICI) of 2 or 5 ms. In separate conditions,

Differential lateralization interference for interaural time and interaural level differences
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1991 Lateralization thresholds were obtained in a 21FC task using 200-ms noise bands presented with either an interaural time or level difference. The elevation in lateralization threshold (interference) caused by a simultaneously presented noise band was measured.

Landmark‐Based Anatomical Dissection and Real‐Time Functional Assessment of the Mouse Eustachian Tube [PDF]
Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 6, December 2026.ABSTRACT Objective Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) contributes to middle ear diseases, but practical methods for functional assessment in mice remain limited. We aimed to develop a landmark‐guided mouse Eustachian tube (ET) dissection protocol and a real‐time pressure‐based system for ET functional evaluation. Methods A detachable portable device was

Auditory Motion Perception by Bilateral Cochlear Implant Users With a Sound Coding Strategy that Synchronizes Peak-Picking Across the Ears [PDF]
Trends in HearingBilateral cochlear implant (BiCI) users do not perform as well as typical hearing listeners when discriminating the direction of sound motion. This is likely due to the lack of synchronization between two independently operating sound processors. The use
