Changes in hearing threshold as a function of size and age. (A) Hearing threshold (dB re. 20 µPa, colour scale) as a function of size (SVL) and frequency. Data were smoothed using linear interpolation and boxcar averaging. (B) Median sound threshold (with 95% confidence intervals, CI) at 1600 Hz for the SVL groups. (C) Median sound threshold (with 95% CI) at 400 Hz for the SVL groups. (D) Audiogram of a small (15 mm SVL) and young (33 dpm) individual. (E) Audiogram of a large (68 mm SVL) and old (887 dpm) individual.
