Schuknecht, 1974; Steel & Bock, 1983), but the number of different deafness genes that appear to have a primary role in homeostasis is surprisingly larger than the number so far identified that affect hair cells directly (Steel & Bussoli, 1999). This is an area where work on animal models has been critical to understanding the processes involved, because, for example, measuring the resting potential (the endocochlear potential, normally around 80 to 100 mV) in the endolymph bathing the upper surfaces of the sensory hair cells is too invasive to be carried out in humans, yet it provides key information about the functional basis of the deafness.

Other mouse mutants (and other animals with deafness and white spotting of the coat) have a similar pigmentation defect, due to a lack of melanocytes, so may also have reduced or absent endocochlear potentials, but such measurements have not yet been reported (see Steel, 1995, for a review).
