Binaural Recordings in Natural Acoustic Environments: Estimates of Speech-Likeness and Interaural Parameters

Trends in Hearing, 2020
Binaural acoustic recordings were made in multiple natural environments, which were chosen to be similar to those reported to be difficult for listeners with impaired hearing.

Interaural time discrimination of clicks: Dependence on interaural time and intensity differences [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1976
The dependence of the just-noticeable difference (jnd) in interaural time delay on interaural amplitude difference and interaural time delay was measured for a 100-μsec click stimulus using a symmetric, two-interval, two-alternative-forced-choice plus feedback paradigm. Results are similar to those obtained for 500-Hz tone bursts [R. H.

Interaural Time Difference Loss for Binaural Target Sound Extraction [PDF]

International Workshop on Acoustic Signal Enhancement
Binaural target sound extraction (TSE) aims to extract a desired sound from a binaural mixture of arbitrary sounds while preserving the spatial cues of the desired sound.

Age-related asymmetry in left–right ears of sound lateralization with respect to four different rise times

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
An experimental investigation was conducted to elucidate the auditory characteristics of the older adult population. The study involved 24 older adult and 24 young participants, with the aim of exploring their horizontal lateralization ability.

Tuning to Interaural Time Differences across Frequency [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 2001
Interaural time differences (ITDs) are an important cue for azimuthal sound localization. Sensitivity to this cue depends on temporal synchrony to the waveform (i.e., phase locking) that begins in the hair cells and is relayed to the neural comparators. The synchrony function is low-pass. Therefore, it is expected that neural tuning to ITDs will become

Factors that account for inter-individual variability of lateralization performance revealed by correlations of performance among multiple psychoacoustical tasks

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
This study explored the source of inter-listener variability in the performance of lateralization tasks based on interaural time or level differences (ITDs or ILDs) by examining correlation of performance between pairs of multiple psychoacoustical tasks.

Behavioral sensitivity to interaural time differences in the rabbit [PDF]

Hearing Research, 2008
An important cue for sound localization and separation of signals from noise is the interaural time difference (ITD). Humans are able to localize sounds within 1–2° and can detect very small changes in the ITD (10–20 μs). In contrast, many animals localize sounds with less precision than humans.

Crocodiles use both interaural level differences and interaural time differences to locate a sound source [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2020
To explore how crocodilians locate a sound source, two Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) were trained to swim towards an acoustic target. Using filtered versions of synthesized stimuli, the respective roles of interaural level differences (ILDs) and interaural time differences (ITDs), which are the two main cues providing information on sound ...

Spatial Mechanisms for Segregation of Competing Sounds, and a Breakdown in Spatial Hearing

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
We live in complex auditory environments, in which we are confronted with multiple competing sounds, including the cacophony of talkers in busy markets, classrooms, offices, etc.

Interaural Time and Intensity Difference and the MLD [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1965
Masking-level differences (MLD) for a 600-cps low-pass transient were explored as a function of (1) interaural time difference (Δt; (2) interaural intensity difference (ΔI); and (3) combinations of Δt and ΔI. Masking-level difference here is the difference between two levels of coherent noise (N0), one required to mask a given condition of click, the ...
