Human hearing adapts to speakers and rooms but the mechanism remains unknown

Evidence

We know that our hearing system has the advantage of being able to adapt to the special characteristics of each speaker, or to a certain frequency response of the transmitting system or to some special room acoustics. As yet, we do not know much about these adaptation processes. — Professor Dr.-Ing. Hugo Fastl, Professor Dr.-Ing. Eberhard, Psychoacoustics- Facts and Models, 2028
