title: Susceptibility to impulse noise trauma in different species: guinea pig, rat and mouse.
abstract: CONCLUSIONS
  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.
  
  
  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.
