    Summary

    Auditory thresholds in rhesus monkeys show a W-shaped contour, similar to previous findings. This study provides reliable hearing data for this primate model.

    Area of Science:

    • Auditory Neuroscience
    • Primate Hearing Research
    • Psychoacoustics

    Background:

    • Understanding auditory perception in non-human primates is crucial for comparative hearing studies.
    • Rhesus monkeys are a common model organism in biomedical research, including hearing science.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To measure and characterize the auditory thresholds of rhesus monkeys.
    • To compare the obtained hearing profile with existing data in primate auditory research.

    Main Methods:

    • Auditory thresholds were determined using a simple reaction-time procedure.
    • Measurements were conducted on 18 ears from 13 rhesus monkeys.

    Main Results:

    • The auditory threshold contour exhibited a smooth, W-shaped function.
    • Thresholds showed increases at extreme frequencies and around 4 kHz.
    • The average standard deviation for the thresholds was 5.3 dB.

    Conclusions:

    • The auditory threshold contour in rhesus monkeys is consistently W-shaped.
    • The findings support the use of rhesus monkeys as a model for studying human hearing mechanisms.
    • The data provides a reliable reference for auditory function in this species.
