Hearing tests reveal how sea lions and fur seals hear human-made noise

Curtin University and Taronga Conservation Society Australia researchers have conducted the first hearing tests on Australian sea lions and long-nosed fur seals, revealing what sounds these marine mammals can hear and helping assess how human-made noise could affect them. The studies, " Aerial Audiograms of Two Long-Nosed Fur Seals (Arctocephalus forsteri) " and " In-Air Behavioral Audiograms of Two Australian Sea Lions (Neophoca cinerea) ," were published in Conservation and Animals , respectively.
