a Example of one forward (blue) and one reverse (red) sweep for S53, probe 4. The x-axis is masker electrode (apical to basal), and the y-axis is stimulus level (dB rel. to 1 μA). The black triangles represent the mean masker level for each of the cardinal electrodes. b Example PTC for S53, probe 4. The x-axis is masker electrode (apical to basal), and the y-axis is masker level (percent dynamic range). The PTC ERBDR is labeled (black rectangle), and the PTC ERBDR value is marked inside the plot. The PTC tip (filled green circle) and probe electrode (blue arrow) are also labeled
