Open publisher page 24 citations

Abstract

The loudness threshold for pure tones varying in duration from 3–1000 msec was studied among subjects with hearing levels ranging from “normal” to severe sensorineural loss. Results showed a negative relationship between slope of the short-duration/threshold function and hearing acuity.
