Loudness perception strongly shapes the decision weights listeners assign to sound components

Evidence

The effect of threshold microstructure (as measured by OAEs) on loudness perception is particularly noteworthy because relative loudness is also known to be one of the most important factors affecting the decision weights listeners place on different information-bearing components of sounds (Berg 1990 ; Lutfi and Jesteadt 2006 ; Epstein and Silva 2009 ; Thorson 2012 ; Rasetshwane et al. 2013 ). This suggests that OAEs might be used to diagnose difficulty in target-in-noise listening tasks through their impact on decision weights. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5758
