The experiments presented in this paper explore the hypothesis that cochlear gain is
reduced, in a frequency-specific manner, over the course of a sound (called a “precursor”) …

Auditory compression was estimated at 250 and 4000 Hz by using the additivity of forward
masking technique, which measures the effects on signal threshold of combining two …

Psychoacoustic estimates of basilar-membrane compression often compare on-and off-
frequency forward masking. Such estimates involve assuming that the recovery from forward …

The speech intelligibility index (SII) is an often used calculation method for estimating the
proportion of audible speech in noise. For speech reception thresholds (SRTs), measured in …

On-and off-frequency compression at the 4000-and 8000-Hz cochlear places were
estimated using a new version of the additivity of forward masking (AFM) technique, that …

There are psychoacoustic methods thought to measure gain reduction, which may be from
the medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR), a bilateral feedback loop that adjusts cochlear gain …

The “active” cochlear mechanism of hearing manifests in the cochlear compression.
Investigations of compression in odontocetes help to determine the frequency limit of the …

Several psychoacoustic phenomena such as loudness perception, absolute thresholds of
hearing, and perceptual grouping in time are affected by temporal integration of the signal in …

The “temporal effect” occurs when masked threshold is shifted as a result of the signal being
preceded by sound (ie, a “precursor”) instead of silence. Several authors have suggested …

I was a PhD student of Brian's from 1987 until 1990, having got a “taste” for the field from
taking part in numerous soul-destroying hearing experiments in his lab as a second-year …
