Abstract excerpt
Auditory susceptibility to aging and environmental factors (noise and toluene) was investigated in two genotypes of mice, CBA/Ca (showing a moderate hearing loss with onset late in life) and C57BL/6J (undergoing spontaneous auditory degeneration with onset during young adulthood). Both strains of mice were often used together as a model of human age-related hearing loss, with a primary decline in auditory...
