Efferent stimulation causes a frequency specific loss of sensitivity in type I cochlear afferents. Frequency sweep stimulation was used to determine acoustic threshold in a single afferent of the cat cochlea. When paired with electrical stimulation of medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent neuron efferents (gray curve) the cochlear afferent was “detuned.” SPL, Sound pressure level.
