Evidence for Sound Perception with the Labyrinth

Abstract

A report is presented of experiments on guinea pigs and pigeons concerning behavioural and electrophysiological responses of the labyrinth to sound. In the guinea pigs the cochlea was destroyed on both sides by CO2 laser radiation and fenestration of the lateral semicircular canal was done. In the pigeons the cochlea was removed before fenestration. On account of the results obtained, fenestration of the lateral canal in patients with bilateral total cochlear loss can be considered as an alternative to monopolar cochlear implants.

Zusammenfassung

In einem Bericht von Untersuchungen in Meerschwein-chen und Tauben werden die elektrophysiologischen Resultate und das Reflexverhalten von akustischer Reizung des Labyrinthes gemeldet. Beim Meerschweinchen waren beiderseits die Schnecke ausgeschaltet mittels Laser-strahlung und der laterale Kanal fenestriert. Die Schnecke der Tauben wurde vor der Fenestration entfernt. Auf Grund der Resultate wird darauf hingewiesen daβ möglicherweise bei Patienten mit totalem Ausfall des Gehörs beiderseits mittels einer Fenestration des lateralen Kanales ähnliche Resultate erreicht werden können als mit monopolaren,cochlear implants.
