exp_bramslow2004
Figures testing the loudness model considering hearing loss bramslow2004

Usage:

s_out = exp_bramslow2004(flags);

Description:

exp_bramslow2004(..); reproduces figures using the bramslow2004 model.

exp_bramslow2004(..,'debug'); displays debugging information while running the model.

out = exp_bramslow2004(..); returns the output of the model.

The following flags can be specified:

'fig2_bramslow2024' Reproduce Fig. 2 from Bramslow (2024) about the excitation for 500 Hz and 4 kHz tone:
'fig3_bramslow2024' Reproduce Fig. 3 from Bramslow (2024) about the masking pattern for 60-dB SPL/Hz noise and flat hearing loss.
'fig4_bramslow2024' Reproduce Fig. 4 from Bramslow (2024) about the loudness growth for 1060 Hz tone and a monaural hearing loss.
'fig5_bramslow2024' Reproduce Fig. 5 from Bramslow (2024) showing a speech sample processed by the model configured to normal hearing, hearing impaired, and hearing impaired with applied gain.

Examples:

To display Fig.2 (left panel only) use :

exp_bramslow2004('fig2_bramslow2024');
