Effect of Pitch on the Asymmetry in Global Loudness Between Rising- and Falling-Intensity Sounds [PDF]

open access: yesActa Acustica united with Acustica, Hirzel Verlag, 2018, 104 (5), pp.770 - 773, 2018
The global loudness of a varying intensity sound is greater when the intensity increases than when it decreases. This global loudness asymmetry was found to be larger for pure tones than for broadband noises. In this study, our aim was to determine whether this difference between pure tones and noises is due to the difference in bandwidth between ...

Podcasts in health education—Insights from a scoping review and survey

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Podcasts have rapidly emerged as a powerful tool for health communication, especially since the COVID‐19 pandemic. While evidence shows that podcasts can enhance student knowledge, confidence, and flexibility in learning, their educational impact is primarily studied within formal academic contexts.

The composite X-ray spectra of radio-loud and radio-quiet SDSS quasars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We present the study on the X-ray emission for a sample of radio-detected quasars constructed from the cross-matches between SDSS, FIRST catalogs and XMM-Newton archives. A sample of radio-quiet SDSS quasars without FIRST radio detection is also assembled for comparison.

Brain Regions Responsible for Tinnitus Distress and Loudness: A Resting-State fMRI Study

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Subjective tinnitus is characterized by the perception of phantom sound without an external auditory stimulus. We hypothesized that abnormal functionally connected regions in the central nervous system might underlie the pathophysiology of chronic ...

Potential Consequences of Spectral and Binaural Loudness Summation for Bilateral Hearing Aid Fitting

open access: yesTrends 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.

Loudness adaptation accompanying ribbon synapse and auditory nerve disorders.

open access: yesBrain : a journal of neurology, 2013
Abnormal auditory adaptation is a standard clinical tool for diagnosing auditory nerve disorders due to acoustic neuromas. In the present study we investigated auditory adaptation in auditory neuropathy owing to disordered function of inner hair cell ...

Tonotopic representation of loudness in the human cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A prominent feature of the auditory system is that neurons show tuning to audio frequency; each neuron has a characteristic frequency (CF) to which it is most sensitive.
