Abstract：
:We obtained just-noticeable differences (jnds) for the intensity of pure tones following a forward masker. The masker was a 100-ms burst of narrow-band noise centered at 1000 Hz presented at 90 dB SPL; the pure-tone signal was at 1000 Hz and was 25 ms in duration. The masker-signal delay was 100 ms. Under these conditions, there is no threshold shift for the detection of the pure-tone signal following the forward masker. In contrast with the absence of a forward-masker effect upon detection thresholds, unusually large midlevel (40-60 dB SPL) jnds were observed. These large midlevel jnds were measured as a function of signal delay, revealing that they are not completely recovered to the normal (unmasked) values by 400 ms. We interpret these data as a consequence of the slower recovery of low-spontaneous rate, high-threshold neurons following prior stimulation (Relkin and Doucet, 1990). These experiments may therefore provide psychophysical evidence that the low-spontaneous rate, high-threshold neurons are a necessary physiological component in the coding of the large dynamic range for intensity. In addition, the present data provide evidence that the assumption that the effect of forward masking is limited to 100-200 ms is inappropriate, as this recovery time does not necessarily apply to suprathreshold tasks.

HEARING RESEARCH文献大全abstract：:Hearing loss may be genetic, associated with aging or exposure to noise or ototoxic substances. Its aetiology can be attributed to vascular injury, trauma, tumours, infections or autoimmune response. All these factors could be related to alterations in cochlear microcirculation resulting in hypoxia, which in turn may ...
