Dynamic range of surviving cochlear nerve fibers was unchanged by the noise exposure. As shown in the inset (left), dynamic range is the difference, in dB, between the stimulus levels eliciting 10% and 90% of the maximum driven rate (maximum rate minus spontaneous rate). Measures are made on the model fit (red dashed line in inset), not the raw data (black symbols in inset). Key in A also applies to B. The fiber sample in A and B is the same as that described in the legend to Fig. 4. The data in the inset are from a low-SR fiber in a control ear.
