What is it about?
The high-pass noise/derived response (HPDR) technique uses high-pass noise masking and response subtraction to obtain "derived responses" which reflect narrow cochlear regions. The technique have proven very useful over the years (studying cochlear contributions to Auditory Brainstem Responses to different stimuli; studying many effects such as sex/gender, hearing loss, menieres disease, etc). The current study uses additional masking (narrowband noise) to determine the cochlear frequencies contributing to the derived responses obtained using 1-octave-wide high-pass noise separations.

Why is it important?
The HPDR technique has proven both useful and important in the study of hearing and for clinical assessment techniques. However, until the current study, the specific contributions to each derived response have been assumed but not directly demonstrated. The current study provides this direct assessment, which may be useful for future use of the HPDR technique.
