Abstract

Considerable emphasis has been recently placed on nonlinear characteristics of the peripheral auditory system in psychophysical, electrophysiological, and mechanical studies. Frequently, comparisons are attempted between results that derive from experimental conditions that are too restrictive or not really comparable. We report here some results from response patterns of single cochlear nerve fibers in response to two-tone stimuli that may help to bridge some discrepancies between reported properties of cochlear microphonics, psychophysical responses, and spike discharges of single cochlear nerve fibers. In particular, we pay attention to the magnitude and phase of distortion products in these response patterns.
