Frequency of greatest temporary hearing threshold shift in harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) depends on fatiguing sound level

Harbor seals may suffer hearing loss due to intense sounds. After exposure for 60 min to a continuous 6.5 kHz tone at sound pressure levels of 123-159 dB re 1 µPa, resulting in sound exposure levels (SELs) of 159-195 dB re 1 μPa2s, temporary threshold shifts (TTSs) in two harbor seals were quantifie...
