Summary

Efferent activity and two-tone suppression might affect the cochlear amplifier at different sites but produce similar effects. Their effects on stimulus-frequency otoacoustic emissions (SFEs) were compared in cats by measuring the vector change in ear-canal sound pressure. The results indicate that contributions to the SFE originate along a large fraction of the length of the cochlea, and that SFEs may provide a ‘window’ into the action of the cochlear amplifier.
