Prestin regulation and function in residual outer hair cells after noise-induced hearing loss.

Prestin regulation and function in residual outer hair cells after noise-induced hearing loss.

The outer hair cell (OHC) motor protein prestin is necessary for electromotility, which drives cochlear amplification and produces exquisitely sharp frequency tuning. Tecta(C1509G) transgenic mice have hearing loss, and surprisingly have increased OHC prestin levels. We hypothesized, therefore, that...
