Gap detection deficits in sound exposed mice were similar between the following conditions: When both ears are tested, or when only the protected ear was tested. (A) Gap detection performance in a sound exposed mouse showing no gap detection deficits after exposure either when its two ears were unobstructed (top histogram) or when the exposed ear was plugged (bottom histogram). (B) A mouse showing similar frequency-dependent gap detection deficits when it was tested with the same paradigm as the mouse in A. Open bars represent mean ± SD of (G + S)/S ratios measured before sound exposure. Black and grey bars were and were not, respectively, significantly different from pre-sound exposure responses. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001.
