The auditory brainstem response test is the accepted
test for detecting hearing loss in dogs. Current
standards in veterinary medicine do not require hearing
protection for canines undergoing MRI. The purpose of
this study was to determine whether routine MRI studies
at 1.5T cause hearing loss in client-owned dogs. In
addition, the authors assessed whether or not hearing
protection can be beneficial.
