  1. HSCC, horizontal semicircular canal crista ampullaris; SSCC, superior semicircular canal crista ampullaris; Y: yes, BM thickening detected; ± = standard error of the mean from 5 measurements in a representative cross section. N= no, absence or faintly discernible BM thickening. In these cases, BM thickness was less than 0.5 micron, tissue non available.
