growth/size/body

decreased body size ( J:239440 )

• mice are smaller than controls

hearing/vestibular/ear

abnormal organ of Corti morphology ( J:239440 )

decreased cochlear inner hair cell number ( J:239440 )

• loss of inner hair cells throughout cochlea

decreased cochlear outer hair cell number ( J:239440 )

• loss of outer hair cells throughout cochlea

abnormal tunnel of Corti morphology ( J:239440 )

• basal turn of organ of Corti lacks the tunnel of Corti and any distinguishable hair cells; the apex and middle turns are near-normal

increased or absent threshold for auditory brainstem response ( J:239440 )

• elevated hearing threshold at 32 kHz beginning at 2 months

• hearing loss progresses at all frequencies (12 and 24 kHz) with age

increased susceptibility to age-related hearing loss ( J:239440 )

sensorineural hearing loss ( J:239440 )

nervous system

decreased cochlear inner hair cell number ( J:239440 )

• loss of inner hair cells throughout cochlea

decreased cochlear outer hair cell number ( J:239440 )

• loss of outer hair cells throughout cochlea

abnormal cochlear ganglion morphology ( J:239440 )

• decreased density of spiral ganglion cells in the basal turn of organ of Corti

• spiral ganglion cells in the basal turn of organ of Corti appear abnormal

hearing/vestibular/ear

abnormal organ of Corti morphology ( J:239440 )

decreased cochlear outer hair cell number ( J:239440 )

• outer hair cells are missing in the basal turn of the organ of Corti

increased or absent threshold for auditory brainstem response ( J:239440 )

• elevated hearing threshold at 32 kHz at 4 months, however, hearing loss is minimal at 12 and 24kHz frequencies

nervous system

decreased cochlear outer hair cell number ( J:239440 )

• outer hair cells are missing in the basal turn of the organ of Corti

abnormal cochlear ganglion morphology ( J:239440 )

• decreased density of spiral ganglion cells in the basal turn of organ of Corti

• spiral ganglion cells in the basal turn of organ of Corti appear abnormal
