Severe Hearing Loss in the World's First Successfully Captive‐Born Yangtze Finless Porpoise: Impact of High Underwater Sound Exposure and Congenital Hearing Disorders

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 331-342, March 2026.
The audiogram of the world's first successfully captive‐born Yangtze finless porpoise was on average 40 dB higher than conspecifics. Congenital hearing disorders and noise exposure may be the primary cause of porpoise's hearing loss. ABSTRACT Aquariums globally have seen significant growth in recent decades.
