The auditory brainstem response test is the accepted test for detecting hearing loss in dogs. Current standards in veterinary medicine do not require hearing protection for canines undergoing MRI. The purpose of this study was to determine whether routine MRI studies at 1.5T cause hearing loss in client-owned dogs. In addition, the authors assessed whether or not hearing protection can be beneficial.
