hearing/vestibular/ear
• in the middle turn at 12 weeks of age
• however, no loss of inner hair cells or pillar cells is seen
• at 12 weeks of age degeneration is seen in the apical, middle and basal turns
• at 4 weeks of age show a ~48-64 dB hearing impairment for both click stimuli and all pure-tone frequencies
• ABR thresholds are relatively stable from 4-12 weeks of age but deteriorate after 5 months of age, with more pronounce loss occurring at high frequencies
• profound loss of cochlear amplification function at 824 kHz from 4 weeks to 7 months of age
• at 4 weeks of age show a ~48-64 dB hearing impairment for both click stimuli and all pure-tone frequencies

nervous system
N
• no abnormalities are seen in the spiral ganglion and the number of ribbon synapses is similar to controls
• in the middle turn at 12 weeks of age
• however, no loss of inner hair cells or pillar cells is seen
