OBJECTIVE: To describe the effects of long-term mild hypoxia and of glutamate poisoning on the functional properties of the cochlea.
METHODS: Outer hair cell activity was monitored using otoacoustic emissions and cochlear microphonics, and inner hair cell/cochlear afferent function was measured using neural responses (cochlear action potentials or auditory brainstem responses [ABRs]).
RESULTS: In contrast to the effects of acute anoxia, in which all aspects of cochlear function are simultaneously lost, mild, long-term hypoxia results in a clear differential effect on outer versus inner hair cell systems. During a 2-hour period of mild hypoxia, ABR amplitude and threshold deteriorate significantly, whereas outer hair cell function, as reflected by otoacoustic emissions, shows little or no change. A similar dissociation between inner and outer hair cell function is observed during instillation of glutamate (1-10 mM), where the cochlear microphonic and the otoacoustic emissions are unchanged, whereas cochlear action potential amplitudes are reduced.
CONCLUSION: These studies demonstrate a difference in vulnerability of inner and outer hair cell systems. The inner hair cell/cochlear afferent system is vulnerable to long-term, mild hypoxia; this may be an etiologic factor in hearing loss of cochlear origin, particularly in high-risk birth infants with auditory neuropathy.
