Aided Loudness Growth and Satisfaction with Everyday Loudness Perception in Compression Hearing Aid Users

Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2007
The primary goal of this study was to examine the relationship between listeners' loudness growth and their satisfaction with loudness when wearing wide-dynamic-range compression (WDRC) hearing aids. An absolute-magnitude-estimate procedure was used to obtain listeners' unaided and aided loudness growth functions in response to a 500 and 2000 Hz ...

Perception of loudness in directional sound fields

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2014
An often utilized assumption in room acoustics is that the room produces a diffuse field, in which sound is uniformly distributed in space and arrives at the listener equally from all directions. This assumption greatly simplifies many calculations, e.g., Sabine's reverberation time (RT).

Fitting Hearing Aids to Individual Loudness-Perception Measures

Ear and Hearing, 1996
The purpose of this study was to compare the prescribed gain, compression ratios, compression thresholds, and the relative predicted speech intelligibility (Speech Intelligibility Index [SII], American National Standards Institute 3.79, proposed) provided by four strategies proposed for selecting hearing aid parameters for low-threshold compression ...

Perception of Pitch, Timbre, and Loudness

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1961
If a narrow bandpass filter is driven by a periodic train of narrow rectangular pulses, the resultant wave train elicits a strong pitch perception which varies monotonically with the pulse repetition rate. This periodic wave train can be used as a pitch reference to match against various stimuli.

Temporal and spectral interaction in loudness perception

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2005
An experiment was conducted to investigate how changes in spectral content influence loudness judgments. Six listeners were asked to discriminate sounds, which were of one second duration and changing in level every 0.1 s. In one condition the first half of the sound was low-pass filtered and the second half high-pass filtered.

Sensory Interaction: Perception of Loudness During Visual Stimulation

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1968
Eight subjects engaged in an alternate binaural loudness balance (ABLB) task utilizing the method of adjustment to explore the perception of loudness of a 300-msec-duration 1-kHz auditory stimulus at 20 dB and 50 dB SL's. Conditions utilized were no visual stimulation during ABLB, visual stimulation in synchrony with the standard auditory stimulus ...

"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

Loudness Perception for Short-Duration Tones in Masking Noise

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1977
The effect of masking noise on the temporal summation of loudness is investigated here by performing loudness balances between a standard 500-msec tone burst (1000 Hz at either 20-, 50-, or 80-dB SPL) and either masked or unmasked comparison tone bursts (1000 Hz with durations between 10 and 640 msec).

Gender difference on loudness perception and evaluation

INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings
Factors affecting gender differences in loudness perception and evaluation were examined from three perspectives: verbal criteria, brain perception (ratio scale evaluation), and cultural background. When the verbal criteria such as "soft" and "loud" was used for evaluation of perceived loudness, the gender differences were observed for Japanese ...
