Evaluation of the Peripheral Vestibular System due to Inner Ear Barotrauma in the Hyperbaric Environment [PDF]
Laryngoscope Investigative OtolaryngologyObjectives The aim of this study was to investigate changes that may occur in the peripheral vestibular system due to inner ear barotrauma in self‐contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) divers exposed to hyperbaric environments.

First photon-counting detector computed tomography in the living crocodile: a 3D-Imaging study with special reference to amphibious hearing [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyBackgroundCrocodiles are semi-aquatic animals well adapted to hear both on land and under water. Currently, there is limited information on how their amphibious hearing is accomplished. Here, we describe, for the first time, the ear anatomy in the living

Underwater hearing and communication in the endangered Hawaiian monk seal Neomonachus schauinslandi
Endangered Species Research, 2021 Hawaiian monk seals are among the most endangered marine mammals and the most basal of the phocid seals. The auditory biology of monk seals is compelling from behavioral, evolutionary, and conservation perspectives, but we presently lack substantive ...
