In ordinary listening environments, acoustic signals reaching the ears directly from real
sound sources are followed after a few milliseconds by early reflections arriving from nearby …

The auditory system derives locations of sound sources from spatial cues provided by the
interaction of sound with the head and external ears. Those cues are analyzed in specific …

The relative importance of neural temporal and place coding in auditory perception is still a
matter of much debate. The current article is a compilation of viewpoints from leading …

Mammals localize sounds using information from their two ears. Localization in real-world
conditions is challenging, as echoes provide erroneous information and noises mask parts …

Objectives: The digits-in-noise test (DIN) has become increasingly popular as a consumer-
based method to screen for hearing loss. Current versions of all DINs either test ears …

The book is concerned with changes in the perception of sound that are associated with
hearing loss and aging. Hearing loss affects about 7% of the population in developed …

Bilateral cochlear implantation is increasingly becoming the standard in the clinical
treatment of bilateral deafness. The main motivation is to provide users of bilateral cochlear …

For computational efficiency, acoustic simulation of late reverberation can be simplified by
generating a limited number of incoherent signals with frequency-dependent exponential …

Under normal hearing conditions, comparisons of the sounds reaching each ear are critical
for accurate sound localization. Asymmetric hearing loss should therefore degrade spatial …

Frequency tuning and phase-locking are two fundamental properties generated in the
cochlea, enabling but also limiting the coding of sounds by the auditory nerve (AN). In …
