Selective Vulnerability of the Cochlear Basal Turn to Acrylonitrile and Noise by B. Pouyatos, C. A. Gearhart, A. Nelson-Miller, S. Fulton, L. D. Fechter

“…Normally, such a noise would be expected to yield damage at a more apical region of the cochlea. The present study was designed to determine whether the basal cochlea is selectively sensitive to acrylonitrile or whether, by adjusting the frequency of the noise band, it would be possible to control the region of the auditory impairment. …”
