Audiogram of a Cook Inlet beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2020 Noise is a stressor to wildlife, yet the precise sound sensitivity of individuals and populations is often unknown or unmeasured. Cook Inlet, Alaska belugas (CIBs) are a critically endangered and declining marine mammal population. Anthropogenic noise is a primary threat to these animals. Auditory evoked potentials were used to measure the hearing of a
