In a reverberant environment, sounds reach the ears through several paths. Although the
direct sound is followed by multiple reflections, which would be audible in isolation, the first …

In ordinary listening environments, acoustic signals reaching the ears directly from real
sound sources are followed after a few milliseconds by early reflections arriving from nearby …

This fully updated and revised sixth edition of Hearing: An Introduction to Psychological and
Physiological Acoustics provides a comprehensive introduction for graduate students and …

Spatial hearing, and more specifically the ability to localize sounds in space, is one of the
most studied and best understood aspects of hearing. Because there is no coding of …

Various measures of binaural timing sensitivity were made in three bilateral cochlear implant
users, who had demonstrated moderate-to-good interaural time delay (ITD) sensitivity at 100 …

Blind people use auditory information to locate sound sources and sound-reflecting objects
(echolocation). Sound source localization benefits from the hearing system's ability to …

This article addresses how a consideration of peripheral auditory processing can help to
understand experiments concerning binaural precedence that employ successive binaural …

Listeners have a remarkable ability to localize and identify sound sources in reverberant
environments. The term “precedence effect”(PE; also known as the “Haas effect,”“law of the …

When two identical sounds are presented from different locations with a short interval
between them, the perception is of a single sound source at the location of the leading …

The dynamics of sound localization were studied using a free-field direct localization task
(pointing to sound sources) and an observer-weighting analysis that assessed the relative …
