Comparison of Vs measurements in five species (modified from Fig. 8 in Rosowski et al., 1999). The chinchilla data is taken from Ruggero et al. (1990); the cat data is from Guinan and Peake (1967); the gerbil data is from Ravicz et al. (2008) and the guinea pig data is from Manley and Johnstone (1974). Two sets of human Vs measurements are used: the first is from the present study in live human, and the second is from Kringlebotn and Gundersen (1985), labeled “Human cadaveric”] where cadaveric human temporal bones were used. Data from present study include our mean live human Vs (labeled “Human live uncorrected”) as well as a “corrected” live human Vs (labeled “Human live corrected”) where a measurement angle correction is applied to minimize the effect of measurement angle on the measured Vs magnitude (Chien et al., 2006). Measurement in guinea pig and gerbil at frequencies >20 kHz are not shown.
