An adaptive response to monaural hearing

<p>The master thesis I wrote during my internship at the Biophysics department of the Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen. It describes pilot experiments on the sound localization performance of unilaterally plugged normal-hearing subjects and a unilaterally-deaf subject. It also describes how my sound localization performance changed when wearing an earplug on one side for several weeks. Later experiments yielded the following peer-reviewed publications:</p> <p>- Contribution of Head Shadow and Pinna Cues to Chronic Monaural Sound Localization. Marc M. Van Wanrooij and A.
