STRC ABR transfer function model

Goal. Quantitative bridge: “X% OHC rescue” → “Y dB ABR shift”. Needed to decide dose/coverage in delivery hypotheses.

Core inputs.

  • Cochlear amplifier gain per OHC column (~35-50 dB total, distributed)
  • OHC density × rescue fraction → active OHC count
  • Saturation of amplifier (diminishing returns at high rescue)

Canonical reference. Based on fits to 2021 Holt (mouse) + 2026 Iranfar + 2025 DB-OTO CHORD clinical data. Script: ~/STRC/models/abr_transfer_model.py (see STRC Computational Scripts Inventory).

usage

Invoked in Phase 4 PKPD audits across h04 / h06 / h09 / h10 to translate delivery metrics into predicted clinical endpoint.
