Evidence for a Transient State of Auditory Hypersensitivity During Initial Onset of Tinnitus: IDAEP Changes Between Acute and Chronic Tinnitus.

Our exploratory investigation of the relationship between IDAEP slope and stimulus dynamic range, while not quite significant, alludes to the possibility that there might be a more nuanced relationship to tinnitus; the onset period of tinnitus could, for instance, be associated with increased dynamic range adaptation, which can be considered a horizontal scaling or shift of a neuronal system’s input-output function to match the distribution of input stimulus intensities.
