Abstract
The f(2)/f(1) frequency ratio of 1.3 in combination with stimulus leve ls of L-1/L-2 = 50/60 and 50/50 dB SPL produced a higher level of dist ortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) in the heterozygous (+/dn ) mice than in the homozygous (+/+) mice. These results suggest that t he dn gene carriers have a unique cochlear trait which may be related to the dn gene locus and expressed via a frequency-and intensity-depen dent DPOAE function.
