“…The interpretation of these results, however, is unclear because the effect has been found to depend mainly on changes of the SP, which has traditionally been thought to originate from inner hair cell receptor potentials rather than from neural elements ( Durrant, Wang, Ding, Salvi, 1998 , Eggermont, 2017 ). 2 Some recent studies, however, suggest that the SP may include neural components ( Kennedy, Kaf, Ferraro, Delgado, Lichtenhan, 2017 , Pappa, Hutson, Scott, Wilson, Fox, Masood, Giardina, Pulver, Grana, Askew, Fitzpatrick, 2019 ). The interpretation of the association between the AP/SP ratio and speech-reception thresholds thus hinges on the interpretation of the SP, which has not yet been fully elucidated.…”
