The cochlear initiation of the frequency-following response (FFR) to 500-Hz tone bursts was assessed in 6 normal-hearing subjects by measuring FFR amplitude as a function of the low-frequency cutoff of high-pass masking noise (3 550, 1 800, 900, and 450 Hz). The major fall off of FFR amplitude occurred when the masking noise began to mask the apical portion of the cochlea. This effect was especially apparent at low intensities. The results are interpreted as supporting the view that at low intensities, low-frequency tone bursts evoke the FFR primarily through the apical portion of the cochlea.
通过测量作为高通掩蔽噪声（3550、1800、900和450赫兹）低频截止频率函数的频率跟随反应（FFR）幅度，在6名听力正常的受试者中评估了对500赫兹短纯音的频率跟随反应的耳蜗起始情况。当掩蔽噪声开始掩蔽耳蜗的顶部部分时，FFR幅度出现主要下降。这种效应在低强度时尤其明显。结果被解释为支持这样一种观点，即在低强度时，低频短纯音主要通过耳蜗的顶部部分诱发FFR。
