Recent reports of elevated auditory thresholds in canaries of the Belgian Waterslager strain have shown that this strain has an inherited auditory deficit in which absolute auditory thresholds at high frequencies (i.e. above 2.0 kHz) are as much as 40 dB less sensitive than the thresholds of mixed-breed canaries and those of other strains. The measurement of CAP audiograms showed that the hearing ...
