The Publisher regrets errors in the article that originally appeared in Seminars in Hearing, volume 23, number 1, 2002. The corrected text is given below.
In the abstract and body of the original article, the terminology ``threshold'' was inadvertently used in association with loudness discomfort level (LDL). The abstract has been reprinted here to correct this mistake, which is an erratum also applicable to the corresponding terminology in the body of the report.
Page 31, 1st column, 1st paragraph, last three sentences: Consider, for example, the discussion by Allen and his colleagues of the results for their Loudness Growth in 1/2 Octave Bands (LGOB) protocol.[83] These investigators described findings for a pair of audiometrically normal subjects who appeared to show a form of loudness recruitment based upon their abnormally reduced response patterns for LOUD and TOO LOUD sound levels.83(p 752) The anomaly they were describing was likely hyperacusis rather than loudness recruitment.
