A Descriptive Model of Negative TTS from Impulses.

Abstract

Sometimes hearing thresholds are more sensitive after impulse-noise exposure than before. This phenomenon has been called negative TTS (temporary threshold shift). A descriptive model of negative TTS is presented, together with a review of the empirical evidence supporting the model. It is suggested that a release from inhibition mechanism may be responsible for the negative TTS phenomenon.
