(Color online) Results for the R ear of rabbit RV35 demonstrating that complexities observed in the DPOAE time waveforms are not due to reflection components from f_dp. In panel (A), an onset complexity was present that disappeared as the DPOAE time waveform reached steady state after about 2.5 ms. In panel (B), when f₂ was turned off at 5 ms, a complexity was observed as the canceling of distributed components diminished allowing one group of emission components to dominate. In panel (C), the complexities were unaffected when a 50-dB SPL IT was placed 44 Hz below f_dp. In a post-condition shown in panel (D), in the absence of the IT, the waveform complexities (black arrow) were essentially identical to the initial [panel (B)] and IT conditions [panel (C)] displayed above indicating that reflection components from f_dp were not responsible for the observed waveform complexities, and that the basis of their origin must lie elsewhere.
