A non-invasive test for stria vascularis dysfunction.

Abstract excerpt

Age-related hearing loss is common in the human population but it is highly heterogeneous in aetiology which has hampered efforts to develop ways of stopping its progression. Three major sites of the initial dysfunction are the sensory hair cells, their innervation, and the stria vascularis which generates the high potassium endolymph maintained at a high endocochlear potential bathing the apical surface of hair...
