Recent reports of elevated auditory thresholds in canaries of the Belgian Waterslager strain have shown that this strain has an inherited auditory deficit in which absolute auditory thresholds at high frequencies (i.e. above 2.0 kHz) are as much as 40 dB less sensitive than the thresholds of mixed-breed canaries and those of other strains. The measurement of CAP audiograms showed that the hearing deficit is already present at the level of the auditory nerve (Gleich and Dooling, 1992). Here we show gross abnormalities in the anatomy of the basilar papilla of Belgian Waterslager canaries at the level of the hair cell. The extent of these abnormalities was correlated with the amount of hearing deficit as measured behaviorally.
