It turns out that a large number of marine invertebrates hear and suffer from noise.

In a new study, the authors found that the outer cuticular hairs that cover most of the body

lobsters - are probably responsible for recording sound vibrations. If this is true, then hearing is nominally present in a large number of marine invertebrates. 

This is the first study to confirmthat the American lobster has hearing: the authors of the work proved this using the so-called auditory evoked potential (AEP) methods. Such methods use electrodes located near the animal's brain to detect the response of neurons to sounds.

As a result of the work, the authors expressed their concernabout the potential impact of man-made noise on lobsters, since man-made noise falls within the frequency range of lobsters, approximately 100-200 Hertz.

This study helps make preliminaryfindings on how anthropogenic noise affects lobster behavior. This is necessary to determine the real impact of noise and try to reduce it as much as possible.
