This paper describes auditory-nerve single-fiber responses to clicks in noise-damaged cochleas. Poststimulus time histograms (PSTHs) were recorded for various click intensities and for the two click polarities. The PSTHs found in fibers with elevated thresholds are discussed in relation to the frequency threshold curves (FTCs) measured in these fibers. Five types of abnormal FTCs are distinguished. Type I is elevated as a whole, type II has an elevated (and often broadened) tip and a tail at normal level, type III has low thresholds in the tail (often hypersensitive), type IV represents a flat tuning, and type V has no tip but shows a clear appearance of the tail (often hypersensitive). The click PSTHs of abnormal fibers were compared to normal PSTHs at equal sound-pressure levels, and various abnormal trends were found corresponding to the type of FTC. PSTHs for type I have longer dominant-peak latencies and smaller amplitudes; PSTHs for type II were normal well above the fiber's threshold; PSTHs for type III revealed remarkable patterns with multiple peaks, part of them with a latency strongly varying with polarity; PSTHs for type IV showed narrow peaks and steep amplitude/intensity curves; PSTHs for type V showed a multiple peaked pattern and large amplitudes and steep amplitude/intensity curves to rarefaction polarity. The various features in the click responses were in most cases consistent with the type of FTC. The results can be used to explain deviations in whole-nerve recordings in abnormal cochleas.
