Abstract excerpt
Because of their short lifespan and genetic homogeneity, mice can provide valuable insights into the biological basis of age-related hearing loss. In C57BL/6 mice, hair cell loss begins around 1-2 months of age and progresses rapidly along a base-to-apex gradient, whereas CBA mice show relatively little hair cell loss until late in life. This anatomical difference is reflected in dehydrogenase histochemistry, an...
