This paper surveys experimental and theoretical work on the psychology of hearing, particularly those aspects that are, or may be relevant to audio reproduction. The general areas considered include: (1) auditory sensitivity and dynamic range; (2) temporal aspects of hearing; (3) frequency and pitch perception; (4) intensity and loudness perception. Current work and directions will be discussed and particular attention will be devoted to the neural and mechanical correlates of these psychological phenomenon.
