- Title
Early alterations of cochlear function in experimental perilymph fistulas.
- Authors
Böhmer, Andreas
- Abstract
Alterations of cochlear function secondary to perforation of the round window membrane in guinea pigs were expected to reveal sensitive and/or specific audiometric parameters in perilymph fistulas. A perforation of the round window membrane either did not affect acoustic compound action potential thresholds, or induced a delayed, possibly conductive, inner ear hearing loss. Also, evoked supra-threshold responses deteriorated progressively and independently of the increase of compound action potential thresholds. A sudden (conductive) hearing loss and a poor response to suprathreshold stimulation might indicate inner ear damage secondary to a perilymphatic fistula.
