research Auditory Threshold Variability in the SAMP8 Mouse Model of Age-Related Hearing Loss: Functional Loss and Phenotypic Change Precede Outer Hair Cell Loss
This study found that in SAMP8 mice, phenotypic changes in outer hair cells or the stria vascularis, possibly due to oxidative deficiencies, may predict variability in age-related hearing loss before outer hair cell loss occurs.
