Abstract

20 guinea pigs were exposed to a broad band noise (120-140 dB SPL) for short durations. The conditions of stimulation were strictly identical for all animals. Cochlear microphonic responses (CM) were recorded with conventional differential electrodes after each exposure, from the first turn of the cochlea. Variations were observed in the degree of CM depression and also in the alteration of the CM transfer function. The origin of this variability is discussed.

Variabilité dans la diminution du microphonique cochléaire après exposition au bruit

Un lot de 20 cobayes a été exposé à un bruit à large bande, présenté à 120 ou 140 dB SPL, pendant de courtes durées, mais progressives. Les conditions de stimulation étaient strictement contrôlées et identiques pour tous les animaux. Le potential microphonique (PM) était enregistré, après chaque présentation du bruit, dans le premier tour de la cochlée, au moyen d'électrodes différentielles classiques. D'importantes variations étaient observées en ce qui concerne le degré de dépression du PM ainsi que les modifications de la fonction de transfert. L'origine de ces variations est discutée.
