Time-varying auditory gain control in response to double-pulse stimuli in harbour porpoises is not mediated by a stapedial reflex
Echolocating animals reduce their output level and hearing sensitivity 9.12/9BV with decreasing echo delays, presumably to stabilize the perceived echo intensity during target approaches.In bats, this variation in hearing sensitivity is formed by a call-induced stapedial reflex that tapers off over time after the call.Here, we test the hypothesis t
