Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Interindividual variation in cochlear vulnerability to noise and ototoxins must in part reflect allelic variation in genes that largely remain unknown. Work in our laboratory has shown that young adult CBA/J mice are more vulnerable to cochlear noise injury than are similar-aged mice of other well-studied strains such as C57BL/6J (B6). Conversely, young CBA/J mice are dramatically protected against...
