This fully updated and revised sixth edition of Hearing: An Introduction to Psychological and
Physiological Acoustics provides a comprehensive introduction for graduate students and …

Auditory system functions, from peripheral sensitivity to central processing capacities, are all
at risk from a blast event. Accurate encoding of auditory patterns in time, frequency, and …

In everyday listening, sound reaches our ears directly from a source as well as indirectly via
reflections known as reverberation. Reverberation profoundly distorts the sound from a …

The benefit of wearing hearing aids in multitalker, reverberant listening environments was
evaluated in a study of speech-on-speech masking with two groups of listeners with hearing …

This study examined the role of focused attention along the spatial (azimuthal) dimension in
a highly uncertain multitalker listening situation. The task of the listener was to identify key …

Objectives: A common complaint of many older adults is difficulty communicating in
situations where they must focus on one talker in the presence of other people speaking. In …

Binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) were measured in a classroom for sources at
different azimuths and distances (up to 1 m) relative to a manikin located in four positions in …

The ASA Press imprint represents a collaboration between the Acoustical Society of America
and Springer dedicated to encouraging the publication of important new books in acoustics …

This study investigated the interaction between hearing loss, reverberation, and age on the
benefit of spatially separating multiple masking talkers from a target talker. Four listener …

In complex scenes, the identity of an auditory object can build up across seconds. Given that
attention operates on perceptual objects, this perceptual buildup may alter the efficacy of …
