Effect of shock wave power spectrum on the inner ear pathophysiology in blast-induced hearing loss
Abstract Blast exposure can induce various types of hearing impairment, including permanent hearing loss, tinnitus, and hyperacusis. Herein, we conducted a detailed investigation of the cochlear pathophysiology in blast-induced hearing loss in mice using two blasts with different characteristics: a...
