Abstract:
Threshold shifts in the average human ear are dependent upon the physical parameters of the noise to which the ear is exposed. The influence of noise level can be described approximately by an exponential function. High-frequency noise components cause much greater threshold shifts than low-frequency components; the point of maximum effectiveness lies near 3000 Hz. In summating the action of different noise components, critical bands of about 1 oct width are effective. Noise components that excite different critical bands produce partial threshold shifts that are, to some extent, independent of one another.
