  • Title: Relationship between loudness tolerance and the acceptance of background noise for young adults with normal hearing.

    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 2012 Jun; 114(3):717-22. PubMed ID: 22913014.
    Abstract:
    This study investigated the relationship between listener loudness tolerance and listener acceptable noise level (ANL). Twenty-five normal hearing adults completed loudness tolerance and acceptable noise level measures. Loudness tolerance was measured using a scaling technique. The acceptable noise levels were calculated from a procedure designed to quantify a listener's willingness to accept background noise while listening to speech. Pearson correlation confirmed that loudness tolerance and acceptable noise levels are not related.
