Abstract excerpt
Two strains of mice, CBA/Ca and C57BL/6J, were exposed to a steady noise (2-7 kHz) of 120 dB SPL for 5 min at 1, 3, 6, or 12 months of age. Threshold shifts were determined by recording auditory brainstem response 1 month after exposure and thereafter up to the age of 16 months (C57BL) or 23-27 months (CBA). With increasing age of exposure, susceptibility to acoustic trauma at middle frequencies (6.3-12.5 kHz) 1...
