What's different
The long "ow" glide is the same in both, so wait for the last sound. Mouse ends on a hiss you could hear across a room: high, sharp and steady. Mouth ends on a faint, flat breath through the teeth, which fades almost as soon as it starts.
Because th is so quiet, mouth can seem to stop at the vowel, or end in something like f. If you hear a clear hiss, it's mouse; anything softer is mouth. Watching helps too: in mouth, the tongue tip often shows between the teeth.
