Fig. 6

The maximum acceptable loudness level (MAL) for the Standard AGF paradigm (red) and the FineGrain AGF paradigm (blue). Except for the most apical electrode 1, all other electrodes showed a significant higher MAL within the Standard AGF paradigm. Note that the Standard AGF was measured at 44 pps compared to an 80 pps stimulus during the FineGrain AGF measurement paradigm. Different levels of significance are marked as: n.s. p ≥ 0.05, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
