• fewer tip links are seen in inner hair cell medium row stereocilia at P8
|
• at P8 in the medium row stereocilia only a few prolate-shaped stereocilia tips and tip links are seen
|
• by P22 some stereocilia have disappeared from the small row
|
• at P9 in inner hair cells from the middle to apex of the cochlea, some stereocilia in the small and medium rows are shorter
• at P22 the reduction in length is more pronounced
|
• at P9 in inner hair cells from the base of the cochlea, some stereocilia in the small and medium rows are shorter
• at P22 the reduction in length is more pronounced
|
• by P22 some stereocilia have disappeared from the small row
|
• at P8 maximal amplitude is decreased in inner hair cells at the apex and middle of the cochlea
• however, at P8 MET sensitivity to hair bundle displacement is preserved, current adaptation is normal, and MET current in outer hair cells are normal
|
• at P13 the round window cochlear microphonics in response to sound stimulation are not detected
• undetectable from P15 on
|
• lack identifiable ABR waves for all sound frequencies even at the highest intensity tested (105 dB SPL) at P13
|
• at P13 amplitudes at 15 kHz are not significantly different from background noise at all sound intensities tested
• however, at P13 amplitudes at 10 kHz are close to controls in response to 70 dB SPL stimuli
• undetectable from P15 on
|
• progressive vestibular dysfunction starting at P21
