ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the relationship between the Mandarin acceptable noise level (ANL) and the personality trait for normal-hearing adults.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Eighty-five Mandarin speakers, aged from 21 to 27, participated in this study. ANL materials and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) questionnaire were used to test the acceptable noise level and the personality trait for normal-hearing subjects. SPSS 17.0 was used to analyze the results.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>ANL were (7.8 ± 2.9) dB in normal hearing participants. The P and N scores in EPQ were significantly correlated with ANL (r = 0.284 and 0.318, P < 0.01). No significant correlations were found between ANL and E and L scores (r = -0.036 and -.167, P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Listeners with higher ANL were more likely to be eccentric, hostile, aggressive, and instabe, no ANL differences were found in listeners who were different in introvert-extravert or lying.</p>
