Abstract
In order to study mechanical nonlinearities in the mammalian hearing organ over a broad range of frequencies, we have both used and adapted the Kiang-Moxon threshold tuning curve paradigm (Liberman, 1978) to measure distortion products 2f1–f2 (the CDT) and f2–f1 (the DT) and to measure two manifestations of two tone suppression.
