On the relations among temporal integration for loudness, loudness discrimination, and the form of the loudness function. [PDF]
Temporal integration for loudness was measured as a function of level from 2 to 60 dB SL using 2-, 10-, 50-, and 250-ms tones at 5 kHz. The adaptive 2I,2AFC procedure converged at the level required to make the variable stimulus just louder than the fixed stimulus.

Estimated cochlear neural degeneration is associated with loudness hypersensitivity in individuals with normal audiograms [PDF]
In animal models, cochlear neural degeneration (CND) is associated with excess central gain and hyperacusis, but a compelling link between reduced cochlear neural inputs and heightened loudness perception in humans remains elusive.

Loudness, but not shot power, influences simple reaction times to soccer penalty sounds [PDF]
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate how ecological sport sounds (i.e., foot-ball impacts of soccer penalty kicks) affect simple reaction times.

Loudness context effects comprise differences in judgments of the loudness of a target stimulus depending on the presence of a preceding inducer tone. Interstimulus intervals (ISIs) between inducer tone and target tone of about 200 ms and above cause an ...

BINAURAL ADDITIVITY OF LOUDNESS [PDF]
A definition of binaural additivity is given in terms of the theory of simultaneous conjoint measurement. Additivity is then tested and verified by a conjoint measurement procedure. Methods for deriving psychophysical scales from such procedures are discussed, and the experimental scales are compared with the usual ratio scales for loudness, derived ...

Loudness Functions and Binaural Loudness Summation in Bilateral Cochlear Implant Users
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 ...

Merging the Psychophysical Function With Response Times for Auditory Detection of One vs. Two Tones
The purpose of this study is to take preliminary steps to unify psychoacoustic techniques with reaction-time methodologies to address the perceptual mechanisms responsible for the detection of one vs. multiple sounds.

Perception of loudness changes induced by a phononic crystal in specific frequency bands
To study the influence of classical phononic crystal (PC) structures on the acoustical characteristics of a sound source, a combined acoustics/perceptual analysis is conducted on a PC specially designed to exhibit several spectral and wave vector ...
