• inner hair cells are slightly disorganized in the E18 cochlea
• with time, most inner hair cells protrude into the scala media, lose their stereocilia and change appearance from elongated to round
|
• degeneration of inner hair cells begins in the basal turn at around E17 and continues until about the time of birth
• degeneration of inner hair cells in the apical turn begins around the time of birth and continues until about P3
• cells that survive occur singly, in pairs or in short runs
