^*Data are in cubic millimeters, presented as mean ± SEM, for four control and six intense-tone-exposed hamsters.

AVCN, anteroventral cochlear nucleus; DCN, dorsal cochlear nucleus; fusiform, fusiform soma layer; IN, interstitial nucleus (auditory nerve root); molecular, molecular layer; PVCN, posteroventral cochlear nucleus.

There were no statistically significant differences between control and exposed hamsters.
