N
• stereocilia develop normally to 2 days of age
• stereocilia are still present at 10 days of age
• stereocilia loss at 18 weeks of age is modest with apical and middle regions of the cochlea more or less normal
• middle region sterocilia become abnormal by 24 weeks of age
• more stereocilia are retained but they become shorter
• basal region stereocilia are shortened at 18 weeks of age
• in 6 week old mice, ABR is normal between 4 and 16 kHz, shows a slightly elevated threshold at 22 kHz and a markedly elevated threshold at 32 kHz
• at 18 weeks, a moderate elevation in ABR threshold is seen at 11 and 16 kHz with a more severe elevation in threshold at 22 and 32 kHZ
• further elevation in ABR thresholds at all frequencies at 24 weeks with elevated thresholds at lower frequencies as well
• hearing losses preferentially at higher frequencies

nervous system
• stereocilia loss at 18 weeks of age is modest with apical and middle regions of the cochlea more or less normal
• middle region sterocilia become abnormal by 24 weeks of age
