Cochlear Blood Flow

  • Chapter
Laser-Doppler Blood Flowmetry

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 107))

Abstract

Studies of the cochlear vasculature and cochlear blood flow (CBF) have been of major interest to hearing scientists and otologists for more than a century. Throughout most of that time, this area of research has represented a major technical frustration. From a physiological perspective, it has long been known that the resting and evoked responses of the sensorineural epithelium of the inner ear, as well as its development and maintenance, depend upon the homeostatic environment of the cochlea. The exquisite sensitivity of this receptor to changes in oxygen [1–5] was an early indication of the dominant role of CBF. The recent discovery of a class of metabolically dependent processes determining the micromechanical properties of the inner ear and resulting frequency tuning of the receptor cells has placed greater emphasis on the importance of CBF (see for example [6])
