Test stimuli were sine waves of 1,250, 2,500, 5,000 and 10,000 Hz, with intensities increased from 40 to 100 dB SPL. By using this long-term method for registering the CM, we have found that the form of the input-output functions recorded is in agreement with that from acute experiments as described in the literature. Our method proved to be valid for recording CM with constant amplitudes over a period of 8-10 weeks. Our present results form a basis for further investigations concerning noise overload. | lld:pubmed |
