Cochlear microphonics (CM) were recorded with differential electrodes from several locations in the guinea pig cochlea. Input-output curves and amplitude-frequency curves were plotted before and after short exposures to intense noise. In addition to amplitude losses, important changes in the intensity functions resulted in a decrease of the nonlinearity and in a modification of the frequency response. The mechanisms producing these alterations are discussed.
