ConceptCategorical loudness scaling
DescriptionA psychoacoustic method used to categorise and quantify an individual's perception of sound at various levels of loudness across the dynamic range of hearing.
UseUse to record responses to a loudness scaling measurement and/or the corresponding loudness perception curve with or without using hearing aids.
MisuseNot to be used to record any other auditory assessment than categorical loudness scaling. Use the specific archetypes for these purposes.
PurposeTo record the loudness perception assessed by loudness scaling tests.
