Our findings suggest that downregulation of GJB2 and SLC26A4 genes are associated with pathological injury in response to noise exposure in cochlear tissue. It would be suggested the demand for assessment of RNA and protein expression of genes involved in noise-induced hearing loss and subsequently the practice of hearing protection programs.
