When bats can’t hear, new research finds that these hearing-dependent animals employ a remarkable compensation strategy. Compare how a bat with normal hearing and a bat that temporarily cannot ...

The simple bat detector uses frequency division to lower the bat’s chirping to a frequency we can hear. For example, if a bat is calling at 91kHz the system will divide it by 16 and put out 5.7kHz.

When bats can't hear, new research finds that these hearing-dependent animals employ a remarkable compensation strategy. They adapt immediately and robustly, suggesting for the first time that ...
