Loudness growth in individual listeners with hearing losses: A review

Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review

Abstract

This letter reanalyzes data from the literature in order to test two loudness-growth models for listeners with hearing losses of primarily cochlear origin: rapid growth and softness imperception. Five different studies using different methods to obtain individual loudness functions were used: absolute magnitude estimation, cross-modality matching with string length, categorical loudness scaling, loudness functions derived from binaural loudness summation, and loudness functions derived from spectral summation of loudness. Results from each of the methods show large individual differences. Individual loudness-growth functions encompass a wide range of shapes from rapid growth to softness imperception.
