The contralateral reflex enhancement evolves dynamically over tens of milliseconds after onset.

Evidence

Note that at time = 0 s, compression was identical for the right-ear and the left-ear MOC processors, and equal to the compression in the STD processors (c = 1000). Then, as the output amplitude from the left-ear processor increased, compression in the right-ear processor decreased (i.e., Eq. (1) became more linear). This decreased the output amplitude from the right-ear processor even further, which in turn reduced the inhibitory effect of the right-ear processor on the left-ear processor. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1961
