Gender differences in loudness perception may be linguistically influenced
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 ...

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 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 ...

Toward an Individual Binaural Loudness Model for Hearing Aid Fitting and Development
The individual loudness perception of a patient plays an important role in hearing aid satisfaction and use in daily life. Hearing aid fitting and development might benefit from individualized loudness models (ILMs), enabling better adaptation of the ...

Testing spatial aspects of auditory salience [PDF]
Auditory salience describes the extent to which sounds attract the listener’s attention. So far, there have not been any published studies testing if the location of sound relative to the listener influences its salience. In fact, not many experiments in

The jet-disc connection: evidence for a reinterpretation in radio loud and radio quiet active galactic nuclei [PDF]
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.

A comparison of feedback cues for enhancing pointing efficiency in interaction with spatial audio displays [PDF]
An empirical study that compared six different feedback cue types to enhance pointing efficiency in deictic spatial audio displays is presented. Participants were asked to select a sound using a physical pointing gesture, with the help of a loudness cue,
