Fig. 7From: The impact of biological sex on the response to noise and otoprotective therapies against acoustic injury in miceSchematic showing the threshold shifts in relation to missing outer hair cells and number of active synapses. Loss of OHC (green) and decrease in the number of active synapses (black) does not correlate with the highest threshold shift (orange) following noise exposure detected at 16Â kHz. The difference in threshold shifts between male and female mice is not explained by a difference in OHC loss or active synapse numbersBack to article page
