Abstract excerpt
Two inbred strains of mice, CBA/Ca (with a moderate auditory impairment starting late in life) and C57BL/6J (with a progressive auditory degeneration starting during young adulthood), were exposed to a 120 dB SPL broadband noise (2-7 kHz) for 5 min at the age of 1, 3, or 6 months. Compound and permanent threshold shifts (CTS and PTS) were determined by auditory brainstem response during the first day (CTS) and 1...
