A study of the hearing of the penguin Spheniscus demersus, in terms of the cochlear potentials, showed sensitivity over a range at least of 100 to 15,000 Hz, with the best sensitivity in the region of 600 to 4000 Hz. The form of the sensitivity function is consistent with the vocalizations of these animals. In general, this species of penguin shows good agreement with other birds in both the form and range of auditory sensitivity.
一项关于斑嘴环企鹅听力的研究,从耳蜗电位方面来看,其显示出至少在100至15000赫兹范围内具有敏感性,在600至4000赫兹区域敏感性最佳。敏感性函数的形式与这些动物的发声一致。总体而言,这种企鹅在听觉敏感性的形式和范围上与其他鸟类表现出良好的一致性。
