Residual sound at an occluded ear mediates part of loudness constancy
Evidence
Since the Silence and Virtual-Finger conditions of experiment 2 produced significantly different summation effects, it seems that a portion of the loudness constancy effect observed in experiment 1 may have been mediated by the residual sound at the occluded ear. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1558
