Figure 4

Stria vascularis thickness and click ABR thresholds. Mean (± S.D.) stria vascularis thickness is shown for 8 control ears, 5 experimental ears with severe hearing loss (HL), and 4 experimental ears with moderate HL. We defined ears with click ABR thresholds ≥80 dB SPL as having severe HL, and ears with <80 dB SPL as having moderate HL. Mean stria vascularis thickness was significantly different among all groups (p < 0.0001) in all cochlear turns. Mean stria vascularis thickness of experimental ears with severe HL was smaller than in control ears, and mean stria vascularis thickness of experimental ears with moderate HL was thicker than in control ears in all cochlear turns. **p <0.005 and ***p<0.0001.
