UNDERWATER HEARING IN MAN: II. A COMPARISON OF TEMPORARY THRESHOLD SHIFTS INDUCED BY 3500 HERTZ TONES IN AIR AND UNDERWATER

Abstract

An experiment was undertaken to explore the upper intensity limit of useful underwater hearing by comparing Temporary Threshold Shifts (TTS) produced by exposure to intense underwater signals with TTS produced by comparable stimuli in air.
