Table 1.

The number of hair cells in the basal, middle, and apical turns of the cochlea OHC, outer hair.

Number of Hair Cells (/200 μm)	OHCs in Basal Turn	OHCs in Middle Turn	OHCs in Apical Turn	IHCs in All Three Turns
Group 1 (n = 9)	73 ± 0.7	73.1 ± 0.7	73.7 ± 0.6	54.7 ± 0.8
Group 2 (n = 8)	72 ± 1.4	71.6 ± 0.8	73.6 ± 1.1	55.3 ± 0.9
p value	0.743 (ns)	0.093 (ns)	0.888 (ns)	0.864 (ns)

The mean differences in the number of hair cells in each region were compared between the group 1 and group 2 using the Mann-Whitney U test. ns: not significant cell; IHC, inner hair cell.
