Hearing Preservation After Segmental Semicircular Canal Destruction: A Report of Two Rare Cases. [PDF]
Semicircular canal fistulas are a complication of cholesteatomatous otitis media. In extremely rare cases, extensive destruction of the bony labyrinth may result in loss of approximately one‐third of the semicircular canal arc, often with wide exposure ...

First photon-counting detector computed tomography in the living crocodile: a 3D-Imaging study with special reference to amphibious hearing. [PDF]
BackgroundCrocodiles 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

Sound reception and hearing capabilities in the Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor): first predicted in-air and underwater audiograms. [PDF]
Despite increasing concern about the effects of anthropogenic noise on marine fauna, relevant research is limited, particularly in those inaccessible species, such as the Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor).

Exploring freshwater soundscapes of tropical marshland habitats in Southeast Asia: insights into auditory sensory adaptation of wild Siamese fighting fish Betta splendens. [PDF]
While soundscapes shape the structure and function of auditory systems over evolutionary timescales, there is limited information regarding the adaptation of wild fish populations to their natural acoustic environments.

Fish responses to underwater sounds depend on auditory adaptations: An experimental test of the effect of motorboat sounds on the fish community of a large fluvial lake. [PDF]
Freshwater fishes exhibit a wide range of auditory adaptations and capabilities, which are assumed to help them navigate their environment, avoid predators, and find potential mates.
