TLDR
Close agreement between the measured and predicted means, ranges, and distributions of exponent values implies that CMM combined with line-length information can be used with success to determine an individual's rate of loudness growth.Abstract:
An investigation of the relation among individual power-function exponents for 51 adults with normal hearing was undertaken. Three different psychophysical procedures were employed: absolute magnit...read more

Characterization of Tinnitus by Tinnitus Patients
J. L. Stouffer,Richard S. Tyler +1 more
TL;DR: Tinnitus was not an occasional phenomenon, but was present for more than 26 days per month in 74% of the patients and in patients diagnosed as having Ménière's syndrome tinnitus, which suggests some patients had normal hearing or mild hearing losses.

Reconciling Fechner and Stevens: toward a unified psychophysical law
TL;DR: In this article, a unified psychophysical law is proposed in which subjective magnitude increases as approximately a power function of physical magnitude with the exponent ranging from near 0 to 1 (compressive function), and subjective magnitude depends primarily on peripheral sensory processes, that is, no nonlinear central transformations occur.

Growth of loudness in listeners with cochlear hearing losses: recruitment reconsidered.
Søren Buus,Mary Florentine +1 more
TL;DR: An abnormally large loudness at an elevated threshold is likely to be a better definition of recruitment than the classical definition of it as an abnormally rapid growth of loudness above an elevated thresholds.
