What is Frequency-Specific Acoustic Trauma in Budgerigars about?
This study investigates the effects of intense noise exposure on hearing in budgerigars, revealing that temporary threshold shifts (TTS) occur at frequencies above 1.5 kHz, while considerable permanent threshold shifts (PTS) are observed below 1 kHz. The findings suggest that the avian auditory system may be more resistant to acoustic trauma compared to mammals, with a unique pattern of low-frequency hearing loss in budgerigars. The results indicate that further research is needed to understand the underlyi
