Changes in pure tone responses. (A–D) Mean absolute ABR thresholds in response to pure tones (4, 8, 16 and 32 kHz) were not statistically significantly different between WT and DKO mice in 1- and 3-mo old, but were significantly different in 6- and 9-mo old mice. Summary data are expressed as (mean ± SD), and statistical comparisons are shown. For 4 KHz, the mean thresholds (in dB SPL) at 6 mos were; WT = 35.00 ± 5.00; DKO = 62.50 ± 12.94; n = 8; p = 0.0001. Mean thresholds at 9 mos were; WT = 45.83 ± 3.76; DKO = 73.33 ± 11.55; n = 8; p = 0.0001. For 8 KHz, the mean thresholds (in dB SPL) at 6 mos were; WT = 46.00 ± 6.52; DKO = 70.83 ± 8.60; n = 8; p = 0.0001. Mean thresholds at 9 mos were; WT = 48.30 ± 4.10; DKO = 78.30 ± 2.89; n = 8; p = 0.0001. For 16 KHz, the mean thresholds (in dB SPL) at 3 mos were; WT = 15.83 ± 4.91; DKO = 28.50 ± 8.83; n = 8; p = 0.0032. Mean thresholds at 6 mos were; WT = 27.50 ± 11.90; DKO = 53.00 ± 2.74; n = 8; p = 0.0001. Mean thresholds at 9 mos were; WT = 25.00 ± 10.49; DKO = 55.00 ± 0.00; n = 8; p = 0.0001. For 32 KHz, the mean thresholds (in dB SPL) at 6 mos were; WT = 42.50 ± 10.40; DKO = 73.84 ± 8.37; n = 8; p = 0.0001. Mean thresholds at 9 mos were; WT = 50.00 ± 4.47; DKO = 80.00 ± 0.00; n = 8; p = 0.0001.
