Abstract:Noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL) often presents with an insidious onset, resulting from the cumulative effect of chronic, high‐level noise exposure regardless of etiology. Stereocilin (STRC) is a protein that supports stereocilia attachment and cochlear hair cell function, 2 common targets of noise trauma. In this study, we explored the relationship between STRC and daily noise exposure in young, healthy adults. We found that higher noise exposure levels were associated with lower serum levels of STRC, as was… Show more
