  • Title: The behavioral audiogram of whitetail deer (Odocoileus virginianus).
    Author: Heffner H, Heffner HE.
    Journal: J Acoust Soc Am; 2010 Mar; 127(3):EL111-4. PubMed ID: 20329810.
    Abstract:
    The behavioral audiograms of two female white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were determined using a conditioned-suppression avoidance procedure. At a level of 60 dB sound pressure level, their hearing range extends from 115 Hz to 54 kHz with a best sensitivity of -3 dB at 8 kHz; increasing the intensity of the sound extends their hearing range from 32 Hz (at 96.5 dB) to 64 kHz (at 93 dB). Compared with humans, white-tailed deer have better high-frequency but poorer low-frequency hearing.
