Subject: Acoustic stealth awareness - hunting for papers From: "Blyth M." <M.Blyth@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2016 13:44:22 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_000_D755E32971C4614E9BEBE90AEEE86FE43B3BDF92SRV00046sotonac_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello list members, My PhD research is investigating auditory fitness for duty in military pers= onnel. Specifically, I am investigating the impact of hearing impairment on= acoustic stealth awareness. This refers to situations where it is importan= t to be quiet to remain undetected by a nearby enemy, and how having a hear= ing loss might affect this ability. As far as I am aware there is limited l= iterature on this type of auditory situation, and wonder if anyone may be a= ble to point me towards relevant papers? I believe a core task involved is the ability to predict the intensity of a= sound at a target's location when you are generating the sound yourself (e= .g. talking, walking on gravel, etc.), therefore allowing you to predict ho= w loud you can be without the target hearing. My literature searches so far= have returned very little, but I wonder if I'm using the wrong terminology= , or missing some old school papers? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
