Gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) react to underwater sounds [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Marine mammals and diving birds face several physiological challenges under water, affecting their thermoregulation and locomotion as well as their sensory systems. Therefore, marine mammals have modified ears for improved underwater hearing.

Labyrinthine Fistula in Cholesteatoma Patients: Outcomes of Partial Labyrinthectomy With “Underwater Technique” to Preserve Hearing [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 Labyrinthine fistula (LF) is one of the most important complications of cholesteatoma and is defined as an abnormal communication between the inner and the middle ear. This study aims to describe our experience with the partial labyrinthectomy evaluating

Specialization for underwater hearing by the tympanic middle ear of the turtle,Trachemys scripta elegans [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012 Turtles, like other amphibious animals, face a trade-off between terrestrial and aquatic hearing.We used laser vibrometry and auditory brainstem responses to measure their sensitivity to vibration stimuli and to airborne versus underwater sound.

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

Sound reception and hearing capabilities in the Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor): first predicted in-air and underwater audiograms [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceDespite 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).

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 ...

Aquatic birds have middle ears adapted to amphibious lifestyles
Scientific Reports, 2022 Birds exhibit wide variation in their use of aquatic environments, on a spectrum from entirely terrestrial, through amphibious, to highly aquatic. Although there are limited empirical data on hearing sensitivity of birds underwater, mounting evidence ...
