Table 1.

Estimates of gain and compression (averaged across listeners) are presented, for the no-precursor condition (No P), and for the 16 conditions of precursor level (P level) and precursor-masker silent interval (P-M interval). Presented in columns from left to right are values for maximum gain (Gain_max), the minimum value of the compression exponent (CE_min) together with the value of the input masker level associated with the minimum compression exponent (IL_CE), and the averaged compression exponent across an input masker level range of 50–70 dB SPL (CE_50–70). Gain_max (dB) and IL_CE (dB SPL) values are shown to one decimal place. CE_min and CE_50–70 values are shown to two decimal places
