Summary

Automatic Translation

Here, we present a protocol for a mouse model of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). To induce NIHL, we developed a new and simple device using corrugated plastic, a rat trap cage, and a speaker. Auditory brainstem response and immunofluorescence imaging were employed to assess the hearing function and outer hair cell damage, respectively.
