abstract introduction: noise exposure is the most common cause of tinnitus. a comprehensive assessment of tinnitus and its impact on the quality of life cannot be achieved merely by evaluating the psychoacoustic characteristics of tinnitus. this study aimed at exploring the potential relationship between tinnitus psychoacoustic characteristics and the resulting handicap. materials and methods: ...

The term "remote psychoacoustic experiments" describes the situation that in contrast to traditional psychoacoustic experiments the experimenter and the subject are located in different places, like different offices, buildings, cities, countries, continents. In essence, the psychoacoustic experiment is performed via internet. In particular, calibration problems have to be solved that the (remo...

Psychoacoustics is the science of the relationship between physical quantities of sound and subjective hearing impressions. To examine these relationships, physical parameters, such as sound pressure level, frequency and modulation depth, are mapped to hearing-related parameters. Unlike the physical quantities, these hearing-related quantities – also referred to as psychoacoustic parameters – p...

In this study two so-called "psychoacoustic processors" are examined exemplarily by applying concepts, models and methods of scientific psychoacoustics. Physical measurements of processed sounds and results of hearing experiments on speech intelligibility and sound quality (Aural Exciter) and loudness (Loudness Maximizer) are presented and discussed with regard to classic psychoacoustic models ...

PURPOSE To clarify the relationship between psychoacoustic capabilities and speech perception in adolescents with severe-to-profound hearing loss (SPHL). METHOD Twenty-four adolescents with SPHL and young adults with normal hearing were assessed with psychoacoustic and speech perception tests. The psychoacoustic tests included gap detection (GD), difference limen for frequency, and psychoacou...
