CONCLUSION: The results indicate that susceptibility to impulse noise differs in the three species. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that there is different susceptibility to impulse noise trauma in three species: the guinea pig, rat and mouse. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three groups of animals were exposed to the same impulse noise and the effect on cochlear pathology was examined using auditory brainstem response thresholds. RESULTS: It was found that the rat and mouse are more sensitive to impulse noise than the guinea pig.
