Hearing data obtained using Bone Conduction Auditory Brainstem Response (BC-ABR) testing on six Greater Caribbean Manatees being rehabilitation at the Caribbean Manatee Conservation Center in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Hearing data was collected while hearing assessments were conducted for clinical assessments of hearing.
Greater Caribbean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) pool recordings from the Caribbean Manatee Conservation Center in Bayamon, Puerto Rico including location and depth of recordings as well as recordings from the natural protected habitat of Laguna del Condado, San Juan, Puerto Rico which includes the GPS coordinates in the recording title. All recordings obtained using omnidirectional hydrophones with H1 recorder (Model SQ26-H1; Cetacean Research Technology, 2007) and are in .wav format.

The Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) to gated tone burst of five frequencies (0.125, 0.5, 4, 8, 10 kHz) as well as broadband click stimuli were recorded in two cheetahs, one male and one female. We report, for the first time, hearing estimates from two cheetahs. Provided are the raw data files in PDF format and RPT format which is the file format used by the Intelligent Hearing System Universal Smart Box for analysis and to mark waves in order to obtain amplitude and latency of waves. Data were obtained for the female cheetah on February 1, 2024 and for the male cheetah on March 26, 2024 from the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens.
