Models of the effects of threshold on loudness growth and summation.

摘要: The present paper extends previous efforts to compare models of additivity masking in normal and impaired listeners measures loudness. A model that provides a good account for listeners, the modified power‐law with compressed internal noise, also description basic loudness data from listeners. This has been discussed frequently literature on as one means correcting functions near threshold, but not widely accepted. applicability this growth summation loudness, both monaurally binaurally, is evaluated compared more generally accepted alternative. ability reported here well masking, suggests need reconsider its application data, relation between masking.
