The cochlear potentials of different breeds of pigeons were measured. Potentials of old pigeons that developed spontaneous carotid atherosclerotic plaques were generally 15-18 dB poorer in sensitivity than younger birds of the same breed with little or no evidence of plaques. In another breed of pigeon, resistant to spontaneous atherosclerosis, but susceptible to high-cholesterol-diet-induced coronary atherosclerosis, differences in potentials were less clearly defined; however, both the older birds and younger diet treated birds tended to be less sensitive than young nondiet treated birds.
