Loudness scaling revisited.
The present work was undertaken in an attempt to evaluate whether it is reasonable to expect that categorical loudness scaling can provide useful information for nonlinear hearing aid fitting. Normative data from seven scaling procedures show that the individual procedures relate the perceptual categories differently to sound level and with a substantial between-subject variance. Hearing-impair...
متن کاملLoudness Scaling in a Digital Synthesis Library
The paper describes the algorithms used in MOSS, an additive synthesis library, to realize sounds with a prescribed loudness. Loudness is a perceived attribute of sound that depends both on the amount of energy carried by the sound wave and on the way this energy is processed by the ear-brain system. The loudness routines in MOSS translate the target loudness of a sound into amplitudes of the c...
متن کاملReliability of categorical loudness scaling and its relation to threshold.
OBJECTIVE To further examine the reliability of categorical loudness scaling (CLS) for individual loudness categories and for the slope of the CLS functions. And, to evaluate the relationship between CLS and audiometric threshold. DESIGN CLS functions were obtained in 74 subjects, 58 with hearing loss and 16 with normal hearing. CLS functions were measured at three frequencies (1, 2, and 4 kH...
متن کاملMeasuring tinnitus loudness using constrained psychophysical scaling.
PURPOSE We measured tinnitus loudness using a new method of psychophysical scaling with the aim of introducing a potentially useful new procedure to the literature. METHOD Fourteen adults reporting tinnitus were trained to use a standardized loudness scale, and then they used that response scale to assess loudness of nonstandard stimuli and of their tinnitus. We also measured tinnitus loudnes...
متن کاملOverall loudness of short time-varying sounds
When predicting the overall loudness of time-varying sounds, it is necessary to use a function which calculates an overall value based on instantaneous loudness. Although N5 and LL(P) correlate for many sounds, their concepts are rather different. N5 is the loudness which is exceeded in five percent of the time, thus it is an ordinal value. LL(P) is the energetic mean of all instantaneous loudn...
