Abstract

Behavioral detection thresholds, auditory filter widths, and temporal modulation transfer functions were obtained from four starlings before, during and after 11 days of subcutaneous injections of kanamycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic. Birds were operantly conditioned to respond to pure tones and amplitude modulated noises ranging in frequency from 0.25 to 7 kHz using adaptive staircase procedures and were tested daily for 92 days after the first injection of aminoglycoside. All birds had threshold shifts of at least -60 dB at frequencies above 4 kHz. Lower frequencies were affected in some birds, although none of the birds had hearing loss below 3 kHz. All four birds had wider auditory filters at 5 kHz immediately after the aminoglycoside series. Any changes in frequency resolution at frequencies below 5 kHz were slight, transitory, and rarely observed. Two of the four birds had permanently wider auditory filters at 5 kHz. Temporal modulation transfer functions were briefly affected in two birds during the time of greatest threshold shift. Recovery of detection thresholds began soon after the injections ceased and continued for approximately 60 days. Recovery in frequency resolution lagged behind auditory threshold by about ...Continue Reading
