Fig. 28.1 (a) During normal development, sensory neuroblasts delaminate from the otocyst epithelium and migrate through the periotic mesenchyme (POM). During this phase there is a period of proliferation called…

Fig. 25.1 Diverse causes of the clinically diagnosed “retrocochlear” type of hearing loss. The precise pathology of each case is often difficult to determine clinically. Note that “synaptopathy” refers to…
