Abstract
•Human underwater hearing sensitivities are 4–22 dB lower than in-air thresholds in terms of sound intensity•Low underwater thresholds are accomplished through resonance of the air-filled middle ear•Human underwater hearing is not mediated through bone conduction•Humans have poor underwater sound localization abilities•Human hearing is not adapted for underwater sounds
