Sensorineural hearing loss is a common problem and causes a decreasing quality of life for the people affected. For several reasons, the realistic simulation of these impairments may be considered […]

We often see a disconnect between how people express themselves through language and how those words are perceived or interpreted. This gap exists, for example, between architects who strive to […]

Ultrasonic metal welding (USMW) is a technique of welding small-area materials by means of high-frequency vibration friction welding. Despite its wide use, it is still hard to monitor the welding […]

A listening experiment based on a developed paradigm to investigate the intentional switching of auditory selective attention with binaural sound reproduction was conducted to examine the influence of generic, individualized […]

The main purpose of this study is to model the transmission of vibrations in the skull bone using equivalent circuits. For this purpose, further knowledge of the equivalent circuit model […]

Noise is known to influence human cognitive performance such as auditory selective attention. Not only cognitive abilities, but also physiological reactions can be measured when being exposed to noise. In […]

English: When the ear canal is occluded by devices such as headphones or hearing aids, the auditory perception of bone-conducted sounds is increased, which results, e.g., in an alteration of […]

Ultrasonic Metal Welding (USMW) is a widely used manufacturing technology for joining metal components in modern industry. The metal sheets which are placed above the anvil need to be bonded. […]

This study investigates the influence of virtual humans on auditory selective attention within a virtual reality (VR) environment. Auditory selective attention is a well-established phenomenon that affects our ability to […]

The generation and propagation of noise is an ongoing research topic that affects everyone. Urban environments in particular suffer from high levels of noise pollution, which can negatively impact the […]

Voice disorders are more prevalent in occupational voice users, such as lecturers in universities. This thesis examines if a relationship between room acoustic properties of lecture halls and voice quality […]

Intentional switching of auditory selective attention (ASA) in the context of electrophysiological data, such as those from the electroencephalography (EEG), has yet been little explored. However, the combination of both […]

Product sound quality significantly shapes consumer perception and user experience. Thus, the assessment of perceptual sound quality holds particular relevance for the industry. Sound quality assessment in listening laboratories utilizing […]

Room acoustic simulations usually assume the acoustic impedance of surfaces to be independent from wave incidence angle - in other words locally reacting. For most materials this is a valid […]

Adequate room acoustic conditions are crucial for creating comfortable communication, learning, or working environments. While acoustic simulations are an established tool for the prediction of the acoustic conditions in a […]

In primary schools, various activities can be conducted during classes. To improve the quality of communication, it was aimed to understand children's listening effort during different types of activities. In […]

Audiovisual listening experiments are crucial for understanding acoustical noise and human sound perception. However, traditional VR setups are limited by the need for expensive equipment and time-consuming laboratory sessions. As […]

The working memory plays an important role in completing everyday tasks and is influenced by irrelevant sound when it comes to serialization of information. While this phenomenon, the irrelevant sound […]

This study conforms an investigation on auditory memory, particularly in the field of room acoustics. Based on the research on short term memory, especially in the auditory field, this work […]

Hearing loss is a prevalent issue that impairs the quality of life of those affected. Simulating this condition allows for further investigation of its perceptual aspects and improvement of existing […]
