Corresponding to the topics of Team 4 of the International Commission on Biological Effects
of Noise (ICBEN), a literature review is presented covering the years 2017 to 2021 with a …

In this paper, the auditory model developed by Dau, Kollmeier, and Kohlrausch [(1997). J.
Acoust. Soc. Am. 102, 2892–2905] was used to simulate the perceptual similarity between …

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019)-induced changes in the workplace present a

Writing is an important activity in open-plan study environments in higher education. Writing
is also a task during which students have indicated to be very disturbed by background …

Hearing loss is often asymmetric such that hearing thresholds differ substantially between
the two ears. The extreme case of such asymmetric hearing is single-sided deafness. A …

Irrelevant speech is known to interfere with short-term memory of visually presented items.
Here, this irrelevant speech effect was studied with a factorial combination of three variables …

The irrelevant sound effect (ISE) denotes the fact that short-term memory is disrupted while
being exposed to sound. The ISE is largest for speech. The presented study investigated the …

We examined the frequency specificity of amplitude envelope patterns in 4 frequency bands,
which universally appeared through factor analyses applied to power fluctuations of critical …

The irrelevant sound effect (ISE) characterizes short-term memory performance impairment
during irrelevant sounds relative to quiet. Irrelevant sound presentation in most laboratory …

Due to new ways of learning in higher education not only classrooms and lecture halls but
also informal learning spaces are becoming increasingly important. Students need …
