This study establishes physiological hearing thresholds in rabbits using click and tone-pip stimuli for auditory evoked potential research. These findings provide crucial normative data for future experimental investigations in animal models.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Otolaryngology
  • Animal Physiology

Background:

  • Establishing normative hearing data is essential for interpreting auditory evoked potential (AEP) studies in animal models.
  • Previous research lacks comprehensive data on rabbit auditory thresholds using various acoustic stimuli.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the physiological hearing threshold of rabbits.
  • To compare the efficacy of click and tone-pip stimuli for AEP recording.
  • To establish normative values for future experimental investigations.

Main Methods:

  • 46 female New Zealand rabbits (6 months old) were used.
  • Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) were recorded using the Nicolet Viking IV P System.
  • Click and tone-pip stimuli were applied via air and bone conduction under anesthesia.

Main Results:

  • Waves I-IV were highly stable (98.7% registrability).
  • Average hearing thresholds: 34.8 dB p.e. SPL (click, air), 13.8 dB p.e. SPL (8 kHz tone-pip, air), 34.2 dB p.e. SPL (click, bone conduction).
  • Results showed good reproducibility and acceptable standard deviations for latencies.

Conclusions:

  • The determined physiological hearing thresholds serve as valuable normative data for rabbit AEP research.
  • Tone-pip stimuli at 8 kHz appear more sensitive for AEP recording in rabbits compared to click stimuli.
  • This study provides a foundation for more accurate and reliable auditory investigations in experimental animals.
