threshold of discomfort
5.60 threshold of discomfort. For a specified signal, minimum time-average sound pressure level (see A3.15) of that signal at the entrance to the external acoustic meatus which, in a specified fraction of the trials, will stimulate the ear to a point that is uncomfortable. Unit, decibel (dB). Annotation Instead of the method of constant stimuli, which is implied by the phrase “a specified fraction of the trials,” another specified psychophysical method may be employed.
terminal limen
5.59 terminal threshold; terminal limen. Minimum stimulus above which no further increase in sensation occurs in a specified fraction of the trials. Annotation Instead of the method of constant stimuli, which is implied by the phrase “a specified fraction of the trials,” another specified psychophysical method may be employed.

temporal integration
5.58 temporal summation; temporal integration. Improvement of the detectability of a signal presented in quiet as the duration of that signal is increased.
