Delory, E., del Río, J., Mánuel, A., André, M. A portable auditory evoked potentials acquisition system for rapid diagnosis of dolphin hearing functionality 19th Conference of the European Cetacean Society, La Rochelle, France, 2005
Abstract:
Whether in captivity or on stranding sites, the screening of
dolphins auditory capabilities is a necessary complement
to their clinical diagnosis. A screening tool is presented,
which enables, together with the collection of species
related acoustic characteristics, a rapid diagnosis of
hearing impairment and biosonar functionality in dolphin
facilities and on stranding sites. Its portability and the
integration of the latest advances in objective auditory
assessment through steady-state evoked potentials should
shorten response times significantly, limit the stressful
experience and provide nearly instantaneous
complementary information on the animal viability.
