Intensity-dependent changes in oxygenation of cochlear perilymph during acoustic exposure.
Hearing Research 1992 November
This study examined the effects of acoustic exposure at different intensities on local oxygenation of the cochlea. The oxygen partial pressure (pO2) of perilymph in the basal scala tympani was measured polarographically in anesthetized guinea pigs exposed to either wide-band noise at 85 dB SPL or a 10 kHz pure tone at 90, 105, or 125 dB SPL for 1 h. Cochlear temperature, heart rate, arterial blood pressure and acid-base status were monitored. The cochlear microphonics (CM) and compound action potentials (CAP) were recorded before and after exposure. There were clear intensity-dependent differences in the effect of acoustic exposure on perilymphatic oxygenation. Moderate exposure intensities (85-90 dB SPL) were found to increase the pO2 by an average of about 20% of the initial level. In contrast, high intensity acoustic exposure (125 dB SPL) resulted in a mean decrease of about 20%. These changes persisted within a subsequent 30-min post-exposure period. There was no significant change in cochlear temperature and cardiorespiratory variables during and after any of the exposures as compared to the controls. CM and CAP amplitudes showed an extensive loss after acoustic overstimulation (125 dB SPL), but no permanent change with lower exposure intensities. These findings suggest that intracochlear oxygenation plays an important role in inner ear physiology during acoustic stimulation.
