Within psychoacoustics, echoes and reverberation are generally thought to 1) cause little degradation in directional perception (as suggested by studies of the "precedence effect"; e.g., see Litovsky, Colburn, Yost & Guzman, 1999) and 2) improve distance perception (by some essentially unknown mechanism; e.g., see Mershon & King, 1975).

تعیین میانگین تراز فشار صدا در اتاق عملهای یک بیمارستان ارجاعی: گزارش کوتاه
Background: Surgeons and anesthesiologists working in orthopedic operating theatres are exposed to significant noise pollution due to the use of powered instruments. This may carry a risk of noise-induced hearing loss. The present study was designed to quantify the noise pollution experienced by anesthesiologists at Imam Khomeini Hospital which is one of the largest Iranian hospitals. Methods:...

This study aimed to investigate noise absorption characteristics for current building and acoustics materials and provided the acoustic database. Method: In this cross sectional study, the minimum of 60 building and acoustic mate...
متن کاملLocalization in Reverberation with Cochlear Implants Predicting Performance from Basic Psychophysical Measures
Users of bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) experience difficulties localizing sounds in reverberant rooms, even in rooms where normal-hearing listeners would hardly notice the reverberation. We measured the localization ability of seven bilateral CI users listening with their own devices in anechoic space and in a simulated reverberant room. To determine factors affecting performance in reverbe...
متن کاملA Wireless Electronic Esophageal Stethoscope for Continuous Monitoring of Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems during Anaesthesia
Background: The basic requirements for monitoring anesthetized patients during surgery are assessing cardiac and respiratory function. Esophageal stethoscopes have been developed for this purpose, but these devices may not provide clear heart and lung sound due to existence of various noises in operating rooms. In addition, the stethoscope is not applicable for continues monitoring, and it is u...
متن کاملLoudspeakers and Rooms for Sound Reproduction—A Scientific Review*
The physical measures by which acousticians evaluate the performance of rooms have evolved in large performance spaces—concert halls. They rely on assumptions that become progressively less valid as spaces get smaller and more acoustically absorptive. In listening rooms the loudspeakers and the rooms interact differently below and above a transition region around 300 Hz, similar to the Schroede...
