Simulation parameters were chosen for visibility of effects, not physiological fidelity.

Evidence

For the present evaluations, c max was set to 1000, a value typically used in clinical CI sound processor, and c min to 1. The energy integration time constants were 4 and 29 ms. These parameter values were selected ad hoc to facilitate visualising the effects of contralateral inhibition of compression in the MOC strategy and need not match natural MOCR characteristics or improve CI-user performance (see the Discussion). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1959

• QUESTION: If these parameters deliberately do not match natural MOCR characteristics, how much does this simulation actually reveal about the real contralateral reflex?
