Development of Auditory Sensitivity in Barn Owls (Tyto furcata pratincola)
… 12 kHz) and clicks of different rates (5-90 Hz). Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) of the auditory nerve were recorded using the auditory brainstem response (ABR). Barn owl hearing matured in a similar trend to other developing vertebrates, including kittens, budgerigars, chickens, and gerbils. …

Relationship between electrical and acoustical characteristics of amplification systems and reduced auditory sensitivity
<p>Current methods of selection of amplification are not readily applicable to children, and relatively few alternatives have been explored. Consequently, the audiologist must make a number of rather arbitrary judgements with little concrete information to support his recommendation of a given …

The effects of noise exposure and genetic background on auditory-evoked behaviors in larval zebrafish
Auditory sensitivity and perception can be influenced by extrinsic factors, such as environmental noise, and intrinsic factors, such as genes and arousal. How do these factors interact and influence auditory-related behaviors? I addressed this question in the larval zebrafish (Danio rerio). …

Managing sound sensitivity in autism spectrum disorder : new technologies for customized intervention
Many individuals diagnosed with autism experience auditory sensitivity - a condition that can cause irritation, pain, and, in some cases, profound fear. Efforts have been made to manage sound sensitivities in autism, but there is wide room for improvement. This thesis describes a new intervention …

Early Adolescent Non-Suicidal Self-Injury and Sensory Preference Differences: An Exploratory Study
… avoiding and sensory sensitive), and higher sensitivity (low threshold) in touch processing, auditory processing, and modulation of sensory input affecting emotional response. Sensory preferences were hypothesized to predict NSSI functionality, and trauma history and symptomology were …

The effects of blindness on tactile and auditory perception in rats
… people gain, relative to normal people, in their sensitivity to other sensory modalities. Although supported only by equivocal evidence, this position probably first appeared in mythology in early Greek literature. Oedipus Rex was attributed greater awareness of people’s nature after this …

MORPHOLOGY, MATERIAL AND VIBRATORY PROPERTIES OF THE SWIMBLADDER IN THE CARP, CYPRINUS CARPIO
… properties. I also determined displacement and auditory responses to mechanical strikes. Wall stress is higher in the posterior, strain in the anterior and modulus lower in the anterior chamber. Strikes increase pressure followed by a variable rebound that rapidly decays. Displacement and sound …

Optimizing Conditions for Cloning cDNA from Chicken Brain
… stimulation can lead to hair cell loss in the auditory epithelium. Hair cell loss or damage in mammals often results in decreased auditory sensitivity which is irreversible. However for birds, hair cells which are damaged by acoustic trauma or ototoxic drugs may be replaced by regeneration. As …

Development of spiral ganglion cells in syrian golden hamster
An understanding of auditory development requires description of anatomical events underlying the onset and maturation of function. Relatively little is known about the anatomical events responsible for subsequent maturation of auditory sensitivity. The present project will attempt to fill this gap …
