The Perception of Control in Loud Noise

Perception, 1984
Perception of control is known to affect performance under stress. Two experiments are reported the object of which was to find out how loud noise during a contingency assessment task influences perceived control. Subjects were required to choose one of two responses, note one of two results, and then provide an overall percentage estimation of the ...

Narrative Review of Loudness Perception Measures in Children

Ear & Hearing, 2022
Recent surveys of pediatric audiologists have highlighted the need for improved understanding of pediatric loudness perception and their role in the hearing device fitting process. The purpose of this article is to provide a brief overview of methods used to measure loudness perception and summarize the existing literature exploring loudness perception

LOUDNESS PERCEPTION FOR PURE TONES AND FOR SPEECH

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1952
THE USUAL test for loudness perception of pure tones is the audiogram, describing the auditory threshold as a function of frequency. In the case of loudness perception for speech, the usual examination is with the whispered voice or, more recently, the phonograph audiometer.

Tactile intensity perception compared to auditory loudness perception

2015 IEEE World Haptics Conference (WHC), 2015
The examination of auditory intensity perception has a long history, and comprehensive knowledge exists. However, tactile intensity perception has not been studied as thoroughly. A short literature review provides an overview of the current state of research, with a focus on perceived vibration magnitude.

Loudness and rate perception in Parkinson's disease

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2022
In speech communication, Parkinson’s disease (PD) is typically discussed in terms of its production consequences. However, a small but growing literature indicates that PD may also result in deficits in the perception of loudness and rate information in speech.

Perception of loudness in children with ADD and without ADD

Child Psychiatry and Human Development, 1996
Twenty-eight children identified with attention deficits and a comparison group of children without ADD were asked to judge the loudness of speech as comfortable (MCL) or tolerable (TL). Results indicated that children with attention deficits required a softer level to make both of these loudness judgements.

Cortical contributions to the perception of loudness and hyperacusis

2023
ABSTRACT Sound perception is closely linked to the spatiotemporal patterning of neural activity in the auditory cortex (ACtx). Inhibitory interneurons sculpt the patterns of excitatory ACtx pyramidal neuron activity, and thus play a central role in sculpting the perception of sound.

"Recalibrating" the auditory system: The perception of loudness.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1994
Listening to relatively intense tones at 1 frequency and weak tones at another makes the latter relatively louder. The auditory system's relative response to low-frequency (f1) and high-frequency (f2) tones depends on the separation between f1 and f2. When f1 and f2 differ little, loudness matches change little with shifts in mean sound pressure levels

Motion perception and loudness judgments

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1999
Besides its acoustic properties, many other nonacoustic properties have been shown to influence the judgments of loudness, noisiness, and noise effects of sounding events. In the environment, one finds moving as well as nonmoving sound sources. The sound emitted may be either constant or dynamic.

Magnitude Estimation of Loudness II

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1984
Because clinical methods most commonly used for assessing loudness are indirect measures that require one normal or near normal ear, loudness perception has not been studied thoroughly in listeners with symmetrical hearing loss. In this investigation, loudness perception was studied in three groups of listeners: normal listeners, listeners with ...
