Response to "Comment on 'similar susceptibility to temporary hearing threshold shifts despite different audiograms in harbor porpoises and harbor seals' " [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 157, 538-541 (2025)].

In their Comment, Tougaard et al. [(2025). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 157, 538-541] question our conclusion that despite their different audiograms, harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) and harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) have similar susceptibility to temporary hearing threshold shift caused by loud sounds, and claim that our selection of data for analysis was biased. In this Response, we clarify our methods and uphold our original conclusions.
