Background: One of the main side effects of radiation therapy to the head and neck region is altered taste sensation. This causes significant morbidity and has profound effects on the quality of life (QoL) of patients. While radiation-associated toxicities like xerostomia and dysphagia are part of large investigations, data on taste impairment is sparse.

Trajectories were designed to provide no reliable cues for the spatial discrimination task. Larger threshold angles were found in reverberant compared to anechoic conditions, for stimuli on the side compared to the front, and for moving compared to static stimuli.

- Acute ischemic stroke can make it hard for people to hear sounds coming from different directions, as it reduces blood flow to parts of the brain.
- In a study, doctors checked how patients with strokes performed on hearing tasks during different times after their stroke, finding mixed results on how well they could locate the sounds.
- Some patients got better at locating sounds over time, while others got worse, showing that everyone recovers differently after a stroke, so treatment plans should be based on each person's needs.
Long stimuli have lower detection thresholds or are perceived louder than short stimuli with the same intensity, an effect known as temporal loudness integration (TLI). In electric hearing, TLI for pulse trains with a fixed rate but varying number of pulses, i.e.
