- •
Do low-frequency “bias” tones (BTs) suppress tone and click responses similarly?
- •
BT-induced synchronization index (SI) was measured in cat auditory-nerve fibers.
- •
After excluding BT excitation, click and tone BT-suppression phases were similar.
- •
BT effects suggest systematic variation in hair cell transduction along the cochlea.
- •
Distortion in IHC drives may account for auditory-nerve-fiber peak splitting.
