Animal models of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) show a dramatic mismatch between cochlear characteristic frequency (CF, based on place of innervation) and the dominant response frequency in single auditory-nerve-fiber responses to broadband sounds (i.e., distorted tonotopy, DT). This noise trauma effect is associated with decreased frequency-tuning-curve (FTC) tip-to-tail ratio, which results from decreased tip sensitivity and enhanced tail sensitivity. Notably, DT is more severe for noise trauma than for metabolic (e.g., age-related) l
