Abstract excerpt
We have reported the presence of OHC apoptosis and necrosis in the organ of Corti following exposure to intense noise. The current study was designed to investigate the rapidity and the initial pattern of outer hair cell (OHC) death induced by exposure to impulse noise. Chinchillas were exposed to 75 pairs of impulse noise at 155 dB peak sound pressure level presented over a time period of 75 s. At 5 or 30 min...
