The deaths of thousands of squid over the past decade have been linked with human noise pollution. Even short bursts of low intensity sound severely damages the balancing mechanisms in squid. High intensity sounds, like those of a seismic air gun, literally blow holes through a squid’s head. People are unknowingly killing cephalopods with sound pollution – what other underwater ecosystems might we be damaging? — Global Animal

The Motion Of Sound: How Squid Hear
(SEA LIFE) Squid can hear, scientists recently discovered, by feeling the motion of the ocean. Squid have a similar set-up to the human inner-ear, although people hear by detecting changes in pressure, rather than the motion of sound. Discover what the squid are listening to, and what that could mean for future research here. ― Global Animal
