Methods based on psychoacoustical forward masking have been proposed to estimate the local compressive growth of the basilar membrane (BM). This results from normal outer hair cells function, which leads to level-dependent amplification of BM vibration. Psychoacoustical methods assume that cochlear processing can be isolated from the response of the overall system, that sensitivity is dominated by the tonotopic location of the probe and that the effect of forward masking is different for on- and...
