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 …

Bilateral cochlear implantation is becoming a standard of care in many clinics. While much
benefit has been shown through bilateral implantation, patients who have bilateral cochlear …

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

In this tutorial, head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) are introduced and treated with
respect to their role in the synthesis of spatial sound over headphones HRTFs are formally …

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 …

Anecdotally, middle-aged listeners report difficulty conversing in social settings, even when
they have normal audiometric thresholds [1–3]. Moreover, young adult listeners with" …

The slant of a stereoscopically defined surface cannot be determined solely from horizontal
disparities or from derived quantities such as horizontal size ratio (HSR). There are four …

This paper introduces the major phenomena of binaural hearing. The sounds arriving at the
two ears are rarely the same: usually one ear will be partially shadowed from the sound …

The accuracy with which listeners can locate sounds is much greater than the spatial
sensitivity of single neurons,,. The broad spatial tuning of auditory neurons indicates that a …

Most normal-hearing listeners can understand a conversational partner in an everyday
setting with an ease that is unmatched by any computational algorithm available today. This …
