  A number of auditory models have been developed using diverging approaches,
either physiological or perceptual, but they share comparable stages of signal
processing, as they are inspired by the same constitutive parts of the auditory
system. We compare eight monaural models that are openly accessible in the
Auditory Modelling Toolbox. We discuss the considerations required to make the
model outputs comparable to each other, as well as the results for the
following model processing stages or their equivalents: Outer and middle ear,
cochlear filter bank, inner hair cell, auditory nerve synapse, cochlear
nucleus, and inferior colliculus. The discussion includes a list of
recommendations for future applications of auditory models.
