Compressive nonlinearity of human hearing in sound spectra discrimination.
In the psychophysical experiments reported here, cochlear compression function was derived by comparing on-frequency and off-frequency masking. The signal was rippled spectrum noise. The ripple density discrimination threshold was measured in the ripple phase reversion test. An increase in masker intensity led to a decrease in a resolvable ripple density threshold. The on-frequency masker level at threshold increased proportionally to the signal intensity. The off-frequency masker level at threshold also increased proportionally to the signal at signal intensity levels below 50 dB, whereas at signal levels above 60 dB SPL, the ratio of the masker level at threshold gradient to signal level gradient was 1 : 5 dB/dB, revealing cochlear compression.
