Abstract
Minimum audible field, underwater audiograms from 1 to 90 kHz were obtained for two ringed seals (Pusa hispida). The audiograms exhibited a uniform sensitivity, to within ± 7 dB, in the frequency range 1 to 45 kHz. Above 45 kHz the threshold increased at a rate of 60 dB per octave. The lowest threshold was −32 dB relative to 1 μbar (68 dB re 1 μPa) at 16 kHz. The audiograms were similar to those of other phocid seals so far studied.
