Soft Tissue Conduction: Review, Mechanisms, and Implications
Trends in Hearing, 2017 Soft tissue conduction (STC) is a recently explored mode of auditory stimulation, complementing air (AC) and bone (BC) conduction stimulation. STC can be defined as the hearing induced when vibratory stimuli reach skin and soft tissue sites not directly ...

An overview of research efforts to understand the effects of underwater sound on cetaceans
Water Biology and Security, 2023 Cetaceans are aquatic mammals living in an environment that is more suited for hearing than vision. As such, their sensory systems largely utilize acoustic cues for navigation, communication, foraging, and predator avoidance.

Modeling underwater hearing and sound localization in the frog Xenopus laevis [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018 Animals that are small compared to sound wavelengths face the challenge of localizing a sound source since the main cues to sound direction—interaural time differences (ITD) and interaural level differences (ILD)—both depend on size. Remarkably, the majority of terrestrial vertebrates possess internally coupled ears (ICE) with an air-filled cavity ...
