Assessment of hearing in 80 inbred strains of mice by ABR threshold analyses
QY Zheng, KR Johnson, LC Erway - Hearing research, 1999 - Elsevier
The common occurrence of hearing loss in both humans and mice, and the anatomical and
functional similarities of their inner ears, attest to the potential of mice being used as models
to study inherited hearing loss. A large-scale, auditory screening project is being undertaken
at The Jackson Laboratory (TJL) to identify mice with inherited hearing disorders. To assess
hearing sensitivity, at least five mice from each inbred strain had auditory brainstem
response (ABR) thresholds determined. Thus far, we have screened 80 inbred strains of …
