    Summary

    This study used auditory brainstem response (ABR) to objectively measure compressive nonlinearity (CNL) in the auditory system. On-frequency forward masking (FM) showed more pronounced effects on ABR measures than off-frequency FM, indicating nonlinear auditory processing.

    Area of Science:

    • Auditory Neuroscience
    • Physiological Acoustics
    • Psychoacoustics

    Background:

    • Compressive nonlinearity (CNL) is a key aspect of auditory processing.
    • Investigating CNL behaviorally involves comparing forward masking (FM) with on-frequency and off-frequency maskers.
    • Auditory brainstem response (ABR) offers an objective method to estimate auditory physiology by analyzing these masking effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine CNL using ABR parameters like Vth peak latency and amplitude.
    • To investigate CNL across a range of probe stimuli frequencies (0.5–4 kHz).
    • To compare the efficacy of on- and off-frequency FM methods in assessing CNL via ABR.

    Main Methods:

    • Employed a within-group experimental design with 31 healthy adults (18–45 years).
    • Recorded ABR using a tone-on-tone FM paradigm under unmasked and masked conditions (on- and off-frequency FM).
    • Masker intensities varied from 50–80 dB SPL; data analyzed using RM-ANOVA and paired t-tests.

    Main Results:

    • Increased masker intensity led to latency shifts and amplitude reductions in both masking conditions, more so with on-frequency FM.
    • No significant latency difference was observed between 60–70 dB SPL masker intensities.
    • On-frequency FM demonstrated a steep growth of masking slope with a lower R² value.

    Conclusions:

    • Objective electrophysiologic measures, like ABR, are effective for estimating CNL.
    • These measures provide reliable insights into auditory system function without subjective responses.
    • ABR assessment of CNL is robust and efficient for understanding auditory physiology.
