How Pet Acoustics works for your pet

How your pet hears sound?

The ear is composed of several structures that work together to process sound. When sound waves enter the ear, they travel through the external ear canal and cause the eardrum (tympanic membrane) to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear to the inner ear.

The middle ear of a dog or cat contains three small bones called ossicles: the malleus, incus, and stapes. These bones amplify the vibrations received from the eardrum and transmit them to the inner ear. The inner ear contains the cochlea, which is responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.

Sound waves can cause vibrations in the eardrum and subsequent movements of the middle ear bones. Excessive sound intensity, high and low frequencies or sudden loud noises can potentially cause discomfort, temporary hearing loss, or damage to the delicate structures of the ear in pets.

The brain processes the electrical signals received from the auditory nerve and interprets them as sound. This allows your pet to perceive and understand different sounds in their environment.

How we design sound for your pet’s ears.

Our Pet Acoustics® proprietary process innovated by Janet Marlow in 1997, called “species-specific music”, modifies sound waves within designed music to be the most comfortable for the mechanism of pet hearing. Frequencies and volume levels that trigger stress are modified according to each animal’s comfort hearing range.

The results of our Pet Acoustics® music maintains hearing health in animals, elicits behavioral balance and lessens stress in their living environment.
