摘要
目的:观察豚鼠暴露于模拟舰船机舱噪声后畸变产物耳声发射(DPOAE)及听神经动作电位(AP)的变化。方法:选用16只豚鼠,分为即刻、7天及正常对照3组。噪声强度为115dB(A),连续暴露4小时。于暴露噪声前后自身对照测试DPOAE听力图,I/O曲线及AP。结果:噪声暴露后即刻组DPOAE振幅明显下降,AP阈值提高,7天后DPOAE振幅基本恢复至噪声暴露前基线。结论:DPOAE可明确显示耳蜗毛细胞功能,较AP测定耳蜗功能损伤与否更有意义,它具有频率特性,可客观说明耳蜗受损部位。
Aim:To observe the changes of distortion product otoacoustic emission(DPOAE) and action potential (AP) after the exposure to a simulated naval ship engineroom noise.Methods:Sixteen healthy Preyer′s reflex normal guinea pigs were divided into 3 groups(namely,the immediate,7 d and normal control groups).The intensity of the noise was 115 dB(A),and the exposure was 4h continuously.The DPOAE audiogram,DPOAE I/O function and AP were measured before,immediately and 7 days after noise exposure.Results:DPOAE amplitude decreased and the threshold of AP increased both significantly immediately after the noise exposure.Seven days after the exposure,DPOAE amplitude recovered to preexposure baseline and AP also recovered to preexposure threshold.Conclusion:DPOAE can reflect the function of outer hair cells more significantly than AP does.DPOAE has the specificity of frequency and therefore can indicate objectively the damaged site of the cochlea.
