Description:Ultrastructural changes in the cochlea by scanning electron microscopy. Basal and apical turns are shown. Many outer hair cells in the basal portion of the Ush2a−/− inner ear were missing, whereas those in the middle turn appeared normal, consistent with the observation that cochlear threshold shifts were more severe for high frequencies than for low frequencies. Inner hair cells were present throughout the cochlear spiral.
