ABSTRACT

Antecedents: In the areas of audiology and phonology it is possible to have biomedical models. The aim of the present study was to examine the ontogeny of isolation calls in normal and deafened infant guinea pigs. Methods: The study was conducted from 2-15 days postpartum to determine the role of vocalization in infant guinea pig vocal responses in contexts of isolation. Female newborn pigmented guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) were housed with their birth mothers and siblings. At day 1 postpartum, the cochlea of infants in the experimental group was destroyed. The control group consisted of normal-hearing female siblings. Vocalizations from infants in experimental (deaf) and control groups were recorded for 6 min in isolation. Analysis of calling was calculated for each vocalization of the recording. Results: Results demonstrated that deaf infant vocalizations are immature compared to those of normal hearing animals. Vocal activity of isolated deaf and normal-hearing infants decreased substantially over development. To make mean and standard deviation from the fundamental frequency in each group, results for normal hearing were 1,535.28 ± 659.95 and of deaf an animals, 1,332.75 ± 1,185.87 Hz, with significance difference for p = 0.05. Discussion: This paper analyzes the frequency of vocalizations in normal-hearing and deaf guinea pigs during the first 10 days after birth. Results showed that deaf animals vocalized more during the time studied and their vocalizations lost harmonics compared to normal-hearing animals. These results indicated that the guinea pig offers a viable model for investigating audition in deaf and normal-hearing human infants.
