Differential susceptibility to noise-induced permanent threshold shift between albino and pigmented guinea pigs.

TL;DR: The data suggest that an altered growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor 1 axis, which may be common to other long-lived bat species, together with adaptations such as hibernation and low reproductive rate, contribute to the exceptional lifespan of the Brandt's bat.

TL;DR: The Brandt's bat (Myotis brandtii) is the longest-lived bat species known to date (lifespan exceeds 40 years) and, at 4.8 kg adult body weight, is the most extreme mammal with regard to disparity between body mass and longevity as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The potential for dose‐limiting and permanent cochlear (neuro) toxicity remains despite present methods of hypertonic saline, prehydration, and mannitol diuresis prior to drug administration.

TL;DR: The data reviewed support the following general statements: (1) the chinchilla is the most widely used and most appropriate animal model for studies of noise-induced hearing loss; (2) with continuous exposures to moderate-level noise, thresholds reach asymptotic levels (ATS) within 18-24 h; and (3) permanent threshold shifts depend upon the level, frequency, and the duration of exposure.

TL;DR: The interaction of noise with a variety of other agents and with some physical characteristics of the individual to produce noise-induced hearing loss is reviewed critically and suggestions for future research are made.

TL;DR: In this article, physiological potentials were measured about 5, 24, and 48 h after exposures to the same noise for two or three days, and showed the closest numerical correspondence to behavioral TTS.

TL;DR: Deaf white cats with congenitally determined lesions of the organ of Corti were found to have transneuronal degeneration in the form of reduced cell size in the ventral cochlear nucleus and the superior olivary complex.

TL;DR: Brainstem auditory evoked potentials recorded from human albinos indicate significant hemispheric asymmetry, symptomatic of differences between decussated and nondecussated auditory pathways in albino and pigmented humans at approximately the level of the superior olivary nuclei.
