Temporary Threshold Shifts in Rhesus Monkeys Produced by Exposure to Octave Bands of Noise by Loeb, Michel, Behar, Isaac

“…Five rhesus monkeys were first tested by a simple avoidance technique at 1, 2, and 4 kHz, then exposed to a 110-dB, 600–1200-Hz noise and retested at intervals…”

Annoyance and behavioral consequences following interfering and noninterfering aircraft noise exposure by Vanderhei, Sharon L., Loeb, Michel

“…Six groups were exposed for 15 minutes to one of three noise conditions—“quiet” (less than 40 dBA), “high noise” (47 recorded jet flyovers with peaking from 90…”

Impulse Duration and Temporary Threshold Shift by Loeb, Michel, Fletcher, John L.

“…Subjects were exposed, on different test days, to 166-dB (peak, normal incidence) impulses 34, 58, 72, or 96 μsec in duration spaced 1 sec apart. For each…”
