Figure 3. — Assessment of the auditory brainstem response (ABR) to a click stimulus in control and noise exposed rats. ABR threshold (A) and amplitude of the first wave of the evoked response (B) to a click stimulus (0.1 ms) were assessed in control rats, as well as rats before (pre) and 2 weeks after (post) exposure to a loud broadband noise (0.8–20 kHz for 2 h at 120 dB SPL). At baseline, the ABR click threshold and wave I amplitude did not differ between the control and noise exposed rats (P > 0.05). Compared with their prenoise values, the rats in the noise exposure group showed a significant increase in their ABR threshold (**P < 0.001) and a decrease in their wave I amplitude (**P < 0.001) 2 weeks postnoise exposure. Values are mean ± SEM for the control (n = 8) and noise exposed (n = 9) groups.
