This book updates and expands an interdisciplinary survey and text first published in Germany in 1974. The Journal of the Institute for Radio Engineering wrote of the first edition that "the literature in this field is so fragmented and scattered that it is virtually inaccessible to most audio engineers, telecommunications technicians, and others for whom it is of vital interest. Thus it is all the more a pleasure to acclaim the author of this first comprehensive monograph, and to recognize how successful he has been in his lucid organization and presentation of so much information."
The first three chapters offer a general outline of the problem and approaches to its study (apparatus, experimental techniques, psychometric methods); a survey of experiments with a single sound source emitting signals over a range of frequencies and intensities; and a similar survey involving multiple sound sources and enclosed spaces.
A new fourth chapter has been added to this edition, reviewing work done since 1972. It includes material on the physics of the external ear, monoaural and interaural attributes of ear input signals, and applications to architectural acoustics and "dummy-head" stereophony. The book also includes an extensive and up to date bibliography.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Review
" There are two kinds of hearing. One kind is the hearing we are born with. . . . The other kind of hearing is learned, and develops as an elaborate form of pattern recognition in which the ear and brain cooperate. . . . The richness of this auditory space, much of it based on cues at or below the edge of conscious awareness, is explored in great detail by a distinguished expert in spatial hearing. It is a technically thorough, clearly presented review of almost everything known about that subject." -- "Audio"
& quot; A comprehensive, thorough, and easily readable survey of all the important work that has been done on the theories of hearing.& quot; -- R. J. Orlowski, Applied Acoustics
