  B) Mutant mice that lack inner hair cells are unable to hear.
  C) Damage to the posterior temporal cortex impairs hearing.
  D) Overgrowth of bone over the round window impairs hearing of highbut not lowpitch sounds.
  E) Antibiotics can degenerate hair cells in an apical to basal direction and produce corresponding deficits in intensity perception.
