Temporal integration of loudness, loudness discrimination, and the form of the loudness function [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1997
Temporal integration for loudness of 5-kHz tones was measured as a function of level between 2 and 60 dB SL. Absolute thresholds and levels required to produce equal loudness were measured for 2-, 10-, 50-, and 250-ms tones using adaptive, two-interval, two-alternative forced-choice procedures.

A Loudness Model for Time-Varying Sounds Incorporating Binaural Inhibition

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2016
This article describes a model of loudness for time-varying sounds that incorporates the concept of binaural inhibition, namely, that the signal applied to one ear can reduce the internal response to a signal at the other ear.

Extending the audiogram with loudness growth: The complementarity of electric and acoustic hearing in bimodal patients.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
IntroductionClinically, recording hearing detection thresholds and representing them in an audiogram is the most common way of evaluating hearing loss and starting the fitting of hearing devices.

Spectral and binaural loudness summation of equally loud narrowband signals in single-sided-deafness and bilateral cochlear implant users

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Recent studies on loudness perception of binaural broadband signals in hearing impaired listeners found large individual differences, suggesting the use of such signals in hearing aid fitting.

Loudness and loudness discrimination [PDF]

open access: yesPerception & Psychophysics, 1980
A model is developed which holds that pure-tone intensity discrimination and suprathreshold loudness judgments are based on the same sensory representation. In this model, loudness is a power function of sound intensity. When two tones are presented sequentially, each gives rise to a loudness value along the sensory continuum.

Real-time loudness normalisation with combined cochlear implant and hearing aid stimulation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
People who use a cochlear implant together with a contralateral hearing aid-so-called bimodal listeners-have poor localisation abilities and sounds are often not balanced in loudness across ears.

Effects of expectations on loudness and loudness difference [PDF]

open access: yesAttention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2012
To determine how expectations affect loudness and loudness difference, in two experiments we induced some subjects to expect loud sounds (condition L), some to expect soft sounds (condition S), and others to have no particular expectations (control). In Experiment 1, all subjects estimated the loudnesses of the same set of three moderately loud 1-kHz ...

Zwicker’s Loudness model as a robust calculation method for assessment of adequacy of airborne sound insulation descriptors for partition walls in dwelling houses

open access: yesActa Acustica, 2023
The development and validation of single number quantities that are meant to serve for straightforward assessment and comparison of airborne sound insulation properties of partition walls are typically challenged by the necessity to perform large numbers

Bisection of loudness [PDF]

open access: yesPerception & Psychophysics, 1979
In a loudness bisection task, subjects varied one sound to lie halfway between two given sounds in terms of loudness. The two given sounds were varied from 30 to 90 dB in a 4 by 9 factorial design. Functional measurement methods based on monotone analysis provided good support for the bisection model, and yielded a loudness scale with an exponent of ...

Uni- and bilateral spectral loudness summation and binaural loudness summation with loudness matching and categorical loudness scaling [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Audiology, 2020
Current hearing aid prescription rules assume that spectral loudness summation decreases with hearing impairment and that binaural loudness summation is independent of hearing loss and signal bandwidth. Previous studies have shown that these assumptions might be incorrect.
