Now available in a sixth edition, An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing is the leading
textbook in the field of auditory perception, also known as psychoacoustics. The textbooks …

Since the first edition was published in 1998, considerable advances have been made in the
fields of pitch perception and speech perception. In addition, there have been major …

People with cochlear hearing loss have markedly higher speech-receptions thresholds
(SRTs) than normal for speech presented in background sounds with spectral and/or …

Sensorineural hearing loss is accompanied by loudness recruitment, a steeper-than-normal
rise of perceived loudness with presentation level. To compensate for this abnormality …

People with sensorineural hearing impairment typically have more difficulty than normally
hearing people in understanding speech in the presence of background sounds. This paper …

Adaptive dynamic range optimization (ADRO) is an amplification strategy that uses digital
signal processing techniques to improve the audibility, comfort, and intelligibility of sounds …
