Abstract excerpt
Some humans and mice are genetically predisposed to age-related hearing loss (AHL), and others are variously susceptible to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). The inbred C57BL/6J (B6) mice exhibit AHL at an early age, whereas the inbred CBA/CaJ (CB) mice do not. The B6 mice are much more susceptible to NIHL than are the CB mice (Shone et al., 1991; Li, 1992a). The B6 mice possess an Ahl gene which maps to...
