Effects of Noise Exposure and Aging on Behavioral Tone Detection in Quiet and Noise by Mice

“…One surprising finding regarding the cochlear damage patterns was the increased OHC survival in aged, noise-exposed mice in the apical-most region of the cochlea and the increased survival in aged, noise-exposed mice in the basal-most region of the cochlea relative to unexposed, aged controls. One possible explanation for these findings could be that experience with nondamaging sounds can promote cell survival with age ( Dziorny et al, 2021 ). Thus, daily exposure to sounds in the test environment may have protected against apical OHC and basal IHC loss.…”
