FIG. 7.

Normalized MTCs for three different cats (A–C). The relative masker level is plotted as a function of relative notch width for a range of probe frequencies. The extraction of the estimated Q ₁₀ from the MTCs is illustrated in B; it is the reciprocal of the intersection of the dashed line at 10 dB relative masker level with the MTC. The masker reference levels (overall level in decibel) for the MTCs are presented in Table 1, indicated by “Ref L _m.”
