Three hypotheses for loudness recruitment after cochlear trauma based on changes in auditory-nerve responses. Left column normal situation, right column after cochlear trauma. A Increase in slope of the rate-level function. B Spread of excitation. Note that a smaller increase in sound level is required to recruit the three fibers after trauma compared to the normal situation (vertical dashed lines). C Decrease in the range of thresholds.
