Abstract

Our ability to predict the impact of sound on marine mammals is 78 limited by our lack of knowledge about the audiogram for many endangered species. Hearing range in virtually all mammals depends on a combination of middle ear and cochlear properties. The low frequency portion of the audiogram is dominated by the middle ear transfer function, whereas the high-frequency limit is determined by the cochlear frequency-place map. Here we discuss how basilar membrane and middle ear stiffness data can be combined in a computational model that can be used to predict cetacean audiograms.
