British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Early childhood has increasingly been acknowledged as a vital time for all children. Inclusive and quality education is part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with the further specification that all children have access to quality pre‐primary education.

Applications of Phenomenological Loudness Models to Cochlear Implants
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Cochlear implants electrically stimulate surviving auditory neurons in the cochlea to provide severely or profoundly deaf people with access to hearing. Signal processing strategies derive frequency-specific information from the acoustic signal and code ...

Binaural Loudness Constancy [PDF]
, 2016 In binaural loudness summation, diotic presentation of a sound usually produces greater loudness than monaural presentation. However, experiments using loudspeaker presentation with and without earplugs find that magnitude estimates of loudness are little altered by the earplug, suggesting a form of loudness constancy.

Loudness Functions and Binaural Loudness Summation in Bilateral Cochlear Implant Users
Archives of Acoustics, 2017 Loudness functions and binaural loudness summation was investigated in acoustically stimulated bilaterally implanted cochlear implant users. The study was aimed at evaluating growth of loudness functions and binaural loudness summation in cochlear ...

Temporal Loudness Weights Are Frequency Specific
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Previous work showed that the beginning of a sound is more important for the perception of loudness than later parts. When a short silent gap of sufficient duration is inserted into a sound, this primacy effect reoccurs in the second sound part after the

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

A Loudness Model for Time-Varying Sounds Incorporating Binaural Inhibition
Trends 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.

A Comparison of Dynamics in Major- and Minor-key Works
Empirical Musicology Review, 2008 An analysis of dynamic markings in 24 paired preludes in major and minor keys shows that the minor mode is associated with a generally lower dynamic level than the major mode.

Speech Intelligibility and Speech Naturalness while Speaking with and without Medical Mask
Journal of Indian Speech Language & Hearing Association, 2023 Introduction: The COVID-19 situation has led to an increase use of medical mask for protection. Facial and respiratory PPE covering the mouth and nose have been reported to diminish Speech Intelligibility.
