| Abstract | The input/output function for acoustic hearing can be characterized by the growth of loudness with sound pressure level and generally follows a compressive power law. In contrast, in electric hearing, loudness reportedly is an expansive function of applied electrical current but the specific shape of the function has not been fully determined. Loudness growth models have implications for the implementation of cochlear implant speech processors. Having an appropriate loudness growth model is important to cochlear implant users because they have a small dynamic range of hearing compared to normal hearing listeners. To compensate for this, appropriate models of loudness are necessary for the design of cochlear implant speech processors. It is also necessary to understand how loudness is encoded and may affect the relative performance in speech recognition. Currently, there is no consensus on the actual shape of the loudness growth function, with power or exponential functions being suggested. In this study psychophysical loudness growth measures were obtained in twelve adult cochlear implant listeners, using the method of absolute magnitude estimation and production. Best-fit loudness growth functions as determined by Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) method for finding the best-fit loudness model seem to show a difference in the loudness growth functions across subjects and across electrode pairs within individual subjects. The range of functions observed is greater than previously reported and goes from linear to expansive, suggesting that individual variations in dynamic range should be incorporated in the design of cochlear implant sound processors |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
