Values are means ± SE (n = no. of cells sampled) of intrinsic properties of fast-spiking (FS) and low-threshold-spiking (LTS) interneurons from adult [postnatal day (P)180–P200] control and conductive hearing loss (CHL) animals.

↵† P < 0.01. RMP, resting membrane potential; Rin, input resistance; τ, membrane time constant; I thresh, current threshold required to elicit a spike; V thresh, voltage threshold to spike; AP width, action potential half-width; AP amp, action potential amplitude; adaptation ratio, average of last 2 interspike-intervals (ISI) divided by average of first 2 ISIs; Max spike rate, maximum spike rate evoked by ≤800-pA current injection.
