Journal ArticleDOI
Communication masking in marine mammals: A review and research strategy.
TL;DR: The understanding of masking in marine mammals is reviewed, data on marine mammal hearing as they relate to masking is summarized, audiograms, critical ratios, critical bandwidths, and auditory integration times are summarized, and anti-masking strategies of signalers are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-frequency hearing in seals and sea lions
TL;DR: The measured masking pattern suggests that the initial, rapid decrease in sensitivity on the high-frequency end of the subject's audiogram is not due to cochlear constraints, as has been previously hypothesized, but rather to constraints on the conductive mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auditory detection of ultrasonic coded transmitters by seals and sea lions.
TL;DR: Both species are likely able to detect acoustic outputs of the Vemco V16-3H under water from distances exceeding 200 m in typical natural conditions, suggesting that these species are capable of using UCTs to detect free-ranging fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auditory sensitivity of seals and sea lions in complex listening scenarios
TL;DR: Differences in detection thresholds indicate that the complex features of naturally occurring sounds enhance detectability relative to simple stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulated masking of right whale sounds by shipping noise: incorporating a model of the auditory periphery.
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to build a model that combines a sophisticated representation of the auditory periphery with a spectrogram-based decision stage to predict masking levels and can be combined with a habitat-appropriate propagation model to calculate the potential effects of noise on communication range.
