Abstract: The data to be discussed represent preliminary attempts to investigate further the relations between acoustic overstimulation, cochlear pathology, and behavioral indices of auditory discriminability. Monaural chinchillas served as subjects and were tested by traditional avoidance techniques to detect pure tones in “quiet” and in various levels of broad-band noise. Stimuli producing acoustic overstimulation included various levels of 4-kHz pure tones and bandpass noise whose greatest spectral levels occurred between 1 and 2 kHz. Both “quiet” and masked postexposure thresholds will be compared to the cochleograms obtained six months following stimulation. [Supported by grant from NASA.]
