Figure 7

Confocal image of cochlea basilar membrane staining with FITC-conjugated phalloidin in the four turns of control group and EH model group. Accidental loss of stereocilia of outer hair cells in the suprabasal, subapical, and apical turns was observed. Sporadic collapse and derangement of stereocilia (white arrow) were found in the third row of outer hair cells. Inner hair cells showed normal.
