Auditory thresholds were obtained for one northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris), one harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) and two California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) under unmasked conditions, masked conditions, and following exposure to noise. Thresholds were determined using a 50% correct detection criterion in a signal detection task using trained behavioral responses to brief pure tones. Results indicate that 1) Mirounga is most sensitive to low frequency sounds in water and is relatively hard of hearing in air; 2) Phoca has comparable auditory sensitivity to sounds of low frequency in air and under water; 3) Zalophus is more sensitive to aerial sounds than underwater sounds; 4) Zalophus is susceptible to age related hearing loss, especially at higher frequencies; 5) all three species, and Mirounga in particular, are quite good at detecting low frequency signals from noise; and 6) moderately loud underwater sounds have the potential to induce short-term residual hearing loss in all species tested.

Download Pinniped Bioacoustics: Auditory Mechanisms, Temporary Threshold Shift, and Effects of Noise on Signal Reception Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The data obtained during this award period provide comparative measurements of underwater and aerial hearing sensitivity in pinnipeds and the effects of exposure to underwater and aerial noise. Much greater aerial sensitivity than previously documented in pinnipeds was demonstrated in individuals from three species. These data were obtained in a highly controlled acoustic testing environment and suggest that most, if not all, previous aerial pinniped audiograms were noise limited. Similar simultaneous (masking) and residual (auditory fatigue) effects of noise exposure were demonstrated in air and water. Noise exposure in the auditory fatigue experiments was systematically varied in both exposure level and exposure duration to investigate the relative importance of these noise parameters in causing temporary changes in hearing sensitivity. Age-related changes in hearing were also demonstrated and indicated most severe hearing losses at relatively high test frequencies. The combined results have a number of practical and theoretical implications and, most notably, indicate that pinniped cochlear processes are similar both in air and water to those occurring in terrestrial mammals.

Download Effects of Noise and Tonal Stimuli on Hearing in Pinnipeds Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The long-term goals of this effort are to assess the effects of tonal (sonar-like) and broadband noise on underwater and in-air hearing sensitivity of individuals of three species of pinniped: the California sea lion, harbor seal, and northern elephant seal. Specifically, the goals are to assess onset, growth, and recovery of noise-induced temporary threshold shift of hearing (TTS).
