Using the database interface

Browse

The Browse function can be used to select audiograms and mark them for detailed display. Each row reflects all audiograms from one publication that were generated for the same species using the same method. The table may show several audiograms for a given source. If a source contains data on different individual animals or species, this data is represented in separate audiograms at the highest possible level of resolution. An audiogram represents data from measurements of a single individual or of several individuals for which averaged data had been reported.
