| Research Abstract |
Blood circulation in the cochlea after exposure to a non-physiological level of sound (100-125 dB SPL, 3h) was investigated by immunohistological methods and blood vessel casting method by SEM. Impaired blood circulation in the capillary of stria vascularis, osseous spiral lamina and spiral prominence, especially strial capillary showed vasoconstriction like change from early time of this sound exposure and its recovery to the normal status needed more than 24 hours. On the other hand, these capillaries showed no remarkable change after relatively physiological sound level (70-80 dB SPL, 20 min) exposure. These data suggest that NITTS (Noise-induced Temporary Threshold Shift) is ascribed to blood circulation impairment in these areas of the cochlea.
In the case of endolymphatic hydrops which is the pathological change manifested in the inner ear dysfunction, the acoustic trauma combined, much more damage was recognized in the hair cell in the cochlea. Glycerol administration might slightly decrease this damage.
The normal hearing ear was not affected in the shape of evoked Oto Acoustic Emission (e-OAE) by the difference of time duration of 1 K Hz tone burst stimulation. The ear which had endolymphatic hydrops showed lower tone frequency of e-OAE than stimulated frequency. The administration of lidocaine hydrochloride and loop diuretics showed the change of e-OAE curve.
Our devised LV therapy was adopted to the treatment of the patients with acoustic trauma and its usefullness was statistically recognized.
