• progressive inner and outer hair cell loss occur as a result of the age related hearing loss mutation, but in the presence of the ameliorating C57BL/6J allele of Mahl the cochlear hair cell loss on this 129S1 congenic background is less severe at 9 months of age than it is at 6 months of age in mice homozygous for the 129S1/SvImJ allele of Mahl

• The age related hearing loss allele causes elevated ABR thresholds relative to the 129S1 host background, but this is partially ameliorated by the presence of the C57BL/6J allele of Mahl
