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 Resumen: 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.
