Abstract

Measurement of two-tone effects in the cochlear microphonic and summating potential indicates that the growth of suppression is different for these two cochlear potentials. Whereas the CM response to the fundamental is reduced 10 dB for each 10 dB increase in suppressor level, the SP decreases at a faster rate; approximately 20 dB per 10 dB increase. Slopes of functions for the CM response to the second harmonic are similar to those for the dc component. Since these results are consistent with the notion that suppression operates by attenuating the input to the CM generator, they are consonant with a mechanical origin of suppression.
