Severe hearing loss and outer hair cell death in homozygous Foxo3 knockout mice after moderate noise exposure

Abstract Noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a disease that affects millions of Americans. Identifying genetic pathways that influence recovery from noise exposure is an important step forward in understanding NIHL.
