mortality/aging
hearing/vestibular/ear
• at 4 weeks of age, stereocilia of inner hair cells vary in length and compactness, by 8 weeks of age, many stereocilia appear to collapse against their nearest neighbors
• stereocilia are thicker at the base than in the middle or tips
• the few remaining inner hair cell stereocilia are arranged in a single row rather than 3 rows
• outer hair cell stereocilia show loss of structural integrity, particularly those in the outermost row
• distortion product otoacoustic emissions at 24 weeks of age show no difference in response at 12 kHz, indicating preservation of outer hair cell function
|
• by 16 weeks, stereocilia are elongated and adhere to their neighbors, and at 24 weeks, stereocilia elongate even further and there are fewer stereocilia per inner hair cell
|
• number of stereocilia per inner hair cell is reduced to approximately 5 compared to several dozen in wild-type mice at 24 weeks of age, with apparent fusion of the membrane surrounding them
|
• inner hair cell ribbon loss is notable at 16 weeks and progress to 46% loss at 24 weeks
|
• mice exhibit higher thresholds indicating that higher sound pressure levels are required to elicit a brainstem response
|
• mild 20 dB hearing loss at 12 kHz at 4 and 8 weeks of age that progresses to 40 dB at 16 weeks and 60 dB at 24 weeks at both 12 and 24 Hz
