Are Movies Too Loud?

چکیده
Over the past few years, the subject of movies getting louder has generated increasing concern within the film production community.

What will happen to it in the future? These seem to be reasonable ques...
متن کاملLoud Music Exposure and Cochlear Synaptopathy in Young Adults: Isolated Auditory Brainstem Response Effects but No Perceptual Consequences
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that listeners with frequent exposure to loud music exhibit deficits in suprathreshold auditory performance consistent with cochlear synaptopathy. Young adults with normal audiograms were recruited who either did ( n = 31) or did not ( n = 30) have a history of frequent attendance at loud music venues where the typical sound levels could be e...
متن کاملNot All Rivals Look Alike: Estimating an Equilibrium Model of the Release Date Timing Game
I develop a new empirical model for discrete games and apply it to study the release date timing game played by distributors of movies. The results suggest that release dates of movies are too clustered around big holiday weekends and that box office revenues would increase if distributors shifted some holiday releases by one or two weeks. The proposed game structure could be applied more broad...
