Chapter 5-Auditory, Tactile, and Vestibular System Sound: The Auditory Stimulus Amplitude is typically expressed as a ration of sound pressure measured in decibels: Sound intensity(db) = 20 log (P1/P2) The Ear: Sensory Transducer 3 primary components 1. pinnea 2. outer and middle ear 3. inner ear The Auditory Experience Loudness and Pitch Psychophysical Scaling Frequency Influence Masking Alarms Criteria for Alarms 1. Must be heard above the background ambient noise 2. The alarm should not be above the danger level for hearing, whenever this condition can be avoided 3. Ideally, the alarm should not be overly startling 4. In contrast to the experience of the British pilot, the alarm should not disrupt the processing of other signals 5. The alarm should be informative, signaling to the listener the nature of the emergency, and ideally some indication of the appropriate action to take.
