The use of AEPs to obtain audiograms from odontocetes (toothed whales) has become increasingly
common. The use of sinusoidally amplitude-modulated (SAM) tones to elicit the ASSR is the most typical
of the AEP approaches used in determining frequency-specific hearing thresholds in odontocetes. Trains
of tone bursts provide an alternative means for eliciting the ASSR, and both approaches are amenable to
objective analysis in the frequency domain. ASA S3/SC1.6-2018 establishes methods for the measurement of the
ASSR generated by SAM tones and tone-burst trains in odontocetes, including instructions for appropriate
stimulus waveforms and stimulus calibration. The standard further establishes configurations for electrode
placement and stimulus delivery, and minimum requirements for reporting electrophysiological and
acoustical noise.
