Categorical Perception of Lexical Tones in Mandarin-speaking Congenital Amusics
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Previous research suggests that within Mandarin-speaking congenital amusics, only a subgroup has behavioral lexical tone perception impairments (tone agnosia), whereas the rest of amusics do not.

Prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle reflex as a function of the frequency difference between prepulse and background sounds in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Prepulse inhibition (PPI) depicts the effects of a weak sound preceding strong acoustic stimulus on acoustic startle response (ASR). Previous studies suggest that PPI is influenced by physical parameters of prepulse sound such as intensity and preceding ...

Pure-tone sensitivity of human infants [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1986 Pure-tone thresholds at frequencies ranging from 250 to 8000 Hz were estimated for 3-, 6-, and 12-month-old infants and for adults, using the Observer-based Psychoacoustic Procedure (OPP). Sounds were presented monaurally using an earphone. Psychometric functions of infants were similar to those of adults, although 3-month-olds had shallower functions ...

Two-mode squeezed states in cavity optomechanics via engineering of a single reservoir [PDF]
Phys. Rev. A 89, 063805 (2014), 2014 We study theoretically a three-mode optomechanical system where two mechanical oscillators are independently coupled to a single cavity mode. By optimized two-tone or four-tone driving of the cavity one can prepare the mechanical oscillators in an entangled two-mode squeezed state, even if they start in a thermal state.

Deficits of congenital amusia beyond pitch: Evidence from impaired categorical perception of vowels in Cantonese-speaking congenital amusics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Congenital amusia is a lifelong disorder of fine-grained pitch processing in music and speech. However, it remains unclear whether amusia is a pitch-specific deficit, or whether it affects frequency/spectral processing more broadly, such as the ...

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

SELF REPORTED HEARING LOSS AMONG ELDERLY MALAYSIANS [PDF]
Malaysian Family Physician, 2010 A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients attending a primary care facility to determine the prevalence of self reported hearing loss using a single question, “Do you have hearing loss?” Pure tone audiometry was performed to compare the accuracy ...

Comparative Study of Two Different Myringoplasty Techniques in Mucosal Type of Chronic Otitis Media [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016 Introduction: Myringoplasty is a surgical procedure used to close the perforation of pars tensa of the tympanic membrane and to improve the hearing loss.

Pure tone hearing thresholds and leisure noise: Is there a relationship?
Noise and Health, 2015 This paper reports on the examination of the relationship between self-reported historical noise exposure during leisure activities and audiological indicators: Measured hearing threshold levels (HTLs) and otoacoustic emissions (OAEs).
