Short summary
Aging humans over 60 show significant loss of peripheral auditory nerve axons (up to 60% in 7/11 subjects) that greatly exceeds inner hair cell loss, suggesting primary neural degeneration disconnected from hair cells, contributing to age-related hearing impairment without affecting audiograms.
