Output-based cross-ear inhibition amplifies existing inter-aural asymmetries

Evidence

Because the stimulus level was higher on the left ear, the output amplitude was also higher for the leftthan for the right-ear MOC processor. Hence, the left-ear MOC processor inhibited the right-ear MOC processor more than the other way around. … In other words, the asymmetry in the amount of contralateral inhibition of gain (or compression) was enhanced because it depended on the processors’ output rather on their input amplitudes. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1939
