Methodological factors influencing loudness of short duration sounds

Cochlear Implants

“…Boone (1973) found that for a frequency of 1000 Hz, loudness was related to the total energy of the tone burst. Stephens (1974) also concluded that equal energy meant equal loudness. The mechanisms underlying temporal integration of acoustic stimuli have been modeled by Viemeister (1979), Buus and Florentine (1985), Green and Forrest (1988), , Plack and Moore ( , 1991, and Oxenham and Moore (1994).…”
