Pure tone thresholds for the rhesus monkey

Hear Res. 1978 Oct;1(1):43-7. doi: 10.1016/0378-5955(78)90008-4.

Abstract

Auditory thresholds were measured for 18 ears from 13 rhesus monkeys using a simple reaction-time procedure. The threshold contour was a smooth W-shaped function with rises at the extreme frequencies and around 4 kHz and was comparable in shape with previously reported thresholds for this animal. Standard deviations averaged 5.3 dB.
