Abstract
Acoustic stimulation affects the ECAP in a level- and time-dependent manner. Simultaneous masking follows a time course comparable to that of adaptation to an acoustic stimulus. Refractoriness, spontaneous activity, and adaptation are suggested to play a role in ECAP recovery. Post-stimulatory changes in synchrony, possibly due to recovery of spontaneous activity and an additional hair-cell independent mechanism, are hypothesized to contribute to the observed non-monotonicity of recovery.
