Effect of round window removal on auditory thresholds in cats.

Round window fistula is a recognized and proven pathological entity that can cause sudden hearing loss. The study reported here, using cats, measured changes in the brainstem evoked response threshold to click stimuli after total removal of the round window membrane. The results showed an immediate 25 dB threshold decline followed by a further 35 dB decline over four hours. The response threshold then remained constant for 20 hours. In one animal there was no response to a stimulus of 110 dB SPL immediately post-op, and this animal, on re-examination, had a hole in the basilar membrane. In two animals, a membrane formed spontaneously over the round window area. In one, the response threshold did not change postoperatively, and in the other the threshold partially recovered following an initial decline.

[Development of the auditory threshold during the first months of life related to modifications of the physiology of the external auditory canal].

A study realised among 60 children by means of a probe tube microphone allowed us to determine the mean ear canal resonance by the newborn and the young children. This is noticeably less than the adult one. The ear canal reaches its adult physiology after one year, so it implies a somewhat different auditory sensibility by the newborns than by the adults, particularly in the 2000-4000 Hz range. We suggest that the A.B.R. wave I latency and thresholds modifications during children's first year of life are (at least partially and in the majority of cases) an ear canal physiological variation effect and that different calibrations should be used for newborns screening test and for adults purposes.

Behavioural estimates of auditory thresholds in hens.

Six hens were trained in a trial-by-trial auditory discrimination in which trials were signalled by the lighting of two key lights. Correct responses (left-key pecks when a tone was presented and right-key pecks when it was not) produced intermittent deliveries of food. Following training at one tone frequency and intensity, testing sessions at lower intensities were carried out. Training and testing were repeated for 10 frequencies between 260 Hz and 8000 Hz. Derived measures of detection performance allowed estimates of the intensities at which no discrimination would have occurred. The threshold measures are presented and suggest that the range of most sensitive hearing was between 3000 and 5000 Hz.
