Monitoring sound levels and soundscape quality in the living rooms of nursing homes : a case study in Flanders (Belgium) [PDF]
, 2017 Recently there has been an increasing interest in the acoustic environment and its perceptual counterpart (i.e., the soundscape) of care facilities and their potential to affect the experience of residents with dementia.

Potential Consequences of Spectral and Binaural Loudness Summation for Bilateral Hearing Aid Fitting
Trends in Hearing, 2018 Aversiveness of loud sounds is a frequent complaint by hearing aid users, especially when fitted bilaterally. This study investigates whether loudness summation can be held responsible for this finding.

Evaluation of the Importance of Time-Frequency Contributions to Speech Intelligibility in Noise [PDF]
, 2014 Recent studies on binary masking techniques make the assumption that each time-frequency (T-F) unit contributes an equal amount to the overall intelligibility of speech.

Gender differences in loudness perception may be linguistically influenced
Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2019 Previous studies have reported gender differences in loudness perception. To clarify factors that affect loudness perception of men and women, so that differences in their processing of auditory stimuli might be revealed, we conducted four experiments ...

On the Loudness of Noise [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1932 In order to determine the usefulness of pure tone data in design of noise meters intended for measurement of complex sound, a reference tone of 1000 cycles at various levels was compared with noises typical of electrical machinery. The comparison was made on the basis of equal loudness determined by ear and also by noise meter.

The jet-disc connection: evidence for a reinterpretation in radio loud and radio quiet active galactic nuclei [PDF]
, 2013 To constrain models of the jet-disc connection, we explore Eddington ratios reported in Foschini (2011) and interpret them in relation to the values in Sikora et al.

BINAURAL ADDITIVITY OF LOUDNESS [PDF]
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, 1972 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 ...
