Abstract excerpt
Alterations of the auditory system during ageing and after noise damage have been studied earlier in two genotypes of mice, CBA/Ca and C57BL/6J, the former of which shows a late-onset hearing loss and the latter a high susceptibility to ageing and acoustic trauma early in life. The two strains display similarities to the different types of human age-related hearing loss. In the present study, the different...
