Figure 4. Sodium salicylate suppressed electrically evoked reticular lamina and basilar membrane vibrations.

Figure 4

(a) Magnitude of acoustically evoked distortion product otoacoustic emission at 27 kHz (red solid line) and the noise floor (black dotted line). Salicylate induced a significant decrease of the otoacoustic emission in less than 3 min. (b) The phase of the otoacoustic emission became random when the magnitude approached the noise floor. (c) Magnitudes of reticular lamina (RL) and basilar membrane (BM) responses to 100-μA currents before (solid) and after (dotted) sodium salicylate application. Salicylate reduced the RL and BM responses to the noise floor. (d) Phase responses of the RL and BM before salicylate application.
