Sentence examples for localizing sound from inspiring English sources

Patients with unilateral hearing loss report difficulty hearing conversation on their impaired side, localizing sound, and understanding of speech in background noise.

Such specificity in this visuo-auditory connection could account for our observation of a higher post-training improvement in localizing sound sources located over 30° of eccentricity.

Zahorik et al. [39] reported that human listeners stimulated with non-individualized HRTFs initially had difficulties in localizing sound sources and suffered from front-back reversals.

Our results demonstrate that the auditory system can indeed switch between different strategies for localizing sound depending on the sensory context.

The implication of this, however, is that the auditory system may not need to develop a radically new way of localizing sound following unilateral hearing loss but may instead acquire the ability to leverage mechanisms that are largely latent in normal animals performing the same task.

The Etymotic canalphones sounded great, but I had a slightly tougher time localizing sounds with them.

Owls exploit the same binaural cues for localizing sounds as do humans.

To clarify these differences in localizing sounds at the central positions, we analyzed the performance of the subjects with respect to the correct left/right discrimination.

We propose that, for localizing sounds in elevation, high frequency cues dominate over low frequency cues because of the superior spatial resolution of the high frequency cues and the higher neural gain afforded to high frequency channels.

Indeed, when localizing sounds in the vertical plane, individuals may experience illusory spatial percepts that result in predictable errors if the source stimulus contains features that mimic the spectral cues associated with a particular location [ 19 21].

Thus, the spectral features that influence the behavioral responses of juvenile-plugged animals primarily reflect the preserved monaural spectral cues available at the nonoccluded ear, suggesting that these animals have become more dependent on these cues for localizing sounds and less on the cues normally available to the plugged ear.
