Subject: listener fatigue From: Marvin Caesar <mcaesar@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:43:33 -0400 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>I am participating on a panel at the upcoming Audio Engineering Society convention in San Francisco. The subject is listener fatigue. The term is used quite often anecdotally, but I have yet to come across any studies done to define it or to describe its causes. I would like to bring as much current and useful information to the professional community as possible, especially in terms of the effects of audio that has been heavily processed for loudness and for bit rate reduction. If anyone out there can point me to studies or literature on the subject, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your help! Marvin Caesar
