Noise-induced masking of hearing in a labyrinth fish: effects on sound detection in croaking gouramis [PDF]
An increasing level of anthropogenic underwater noise (shipping, drilling, sonar use, etc.) impairs acoustic orientation and communication in fish by hindering signal transmission or detection.

Underwater Hearing Thresholds [PDF]
The audibility threshold performance of the human ear submerged in water at eardepths of 12 and 35 ft is compared to its performance in air. Threshold SPLs at 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 Hz from five male and three female divers wearing open-circuit SCUBA equipment were obtained by the Békésy technique.

Middle ear cavity morphology is consistent with an aquatic origin for testudines. [PDF]
The position of testudines in vertebrate phylogeny is being re-evaluated. At present, testudine morphological and molecular data conflict when reconstructing phylogenetic relationships.

Obtaining Underwater Hearing Data for the Common Murre (Uria aalge)
Many species of seabirds dive to great depths and for prolonged intervals in pursuit of food, and they may therefore be affected by anthropogenic underwater noise.

Underwater workers were prone to hearing loss. Pressure during diving and depth of dive were causing hearing loss.Jobs that are at risk for barotrauma are divers, keepers or pearl takers, marine boat keepers, rescue teams, and underwater construction ...
