Time-varying auditory gain control in response to double-pulse stimuli in harbour porpoises is not mediated by a stapedial reflex

Echolocating animals reduce their output level and hearing sensitivity with decreasing echo delays, presumably to stabilize the perceived echo intensity during target approaches.In bats, this variation in hearing sensitivity is formed by a call-induced stapedial reflex that tapers off over time after the call.Here, we test the hypothesis that Measu
