METHODSThirty-seven purebred beagles were used. Twenty-nine of the animals also provided data for another paper (9). The animals were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital(35 mg/kg). A tracheal cannula was inserted. The external auditory canals on the two sides were dissected free and cut transversely. A parapharyngeal approach was used to expose the base of the skull. A small hole was drilled over the emergence of the trochlear nerve and the trapezoid body. The animal was placed in a rigid holder located in a sound-insulated chamber. Earpieces were inserted into the external canals and were connected via flexible plastic tubes to shallow metal cavities sealed to the front surfaces of a pair of matched Telephonics TDH-39 dynamic earphones. The system provided an interaural separation of greater than 50 db. A check was made of the two ears by placing a gross electrode on the trapzoid body and recording the potentials evoked by monaural click stimulation. Animals were included in the study only if the click threshold for each ear was within 10 db of an intensity considered normal and if the thresholds for the two ears did not differ by more than 10 db. Pulsations of the brain were
