Complex broadband sounds are decomposed by the auditory filters into a series of relatively
narrowband signals, each of which can be considered as a slowly varying envelope (E) …

Dynamic range compression, despite being one of the most widely used audio effects, is still
poorly understood, and there is little formal knowledge and analysis of compressor design …

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 sensorineural hearing loss have difficulty understanding speech, especially
when background sounds are present. A reduction in the ability to resolve the frequency …

Speech recognition performance was measured in normal-hearing and cochlear-implant
listeners with maskers consisting of either steady-state speech-spectrum-shaped noise or a …

Current implant devices, and those soon to be available, have substantial untapped

Stone et al.[J. Acoust. Soc Am. 130, 2874–2881 (2011)], using vocoder processing, showed
that the envelope modulations of a notionally steady noise were more effective than the …

Speech reception thresholds (SRTs) were measured with a competing talker background for
signals processed to contain variable amounts of temporal fine structure (TFS) information …

Developmental dyslexia is associated with rhythmic difficulties, including impaired
perception of beat patterns in music and prosodic stress patterns in speech. Spoken …
