Phenomenological model (top panel) of reflex decay where the input to the middle ear muscle is controlled by an integrator (1/s), where s indicates the Laplace domain, and whose amount of decay can be controlled by a gain K. The muscle is represented by a first order transfer function. The output of the model (bottom panel) illustrates that as the gain (K) increases, there is less input to the muscle and therefore more decay.
