SNHL reduces synchrony capture so nerve fibers encode multiple harmonics

Evidence

In particular, synchrony capture results in the dominance of a single harmonic near a spectral peak on the fine-structure of AN responses to voiced sounds (Delgutte and Kiang 1984 ; Deng and Geisler 1987 ). After trauma-induced SNHL, synchrony capture is reduced, and AN fibres respond to multiple harmonics (Miller et al. 1997 ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5472
