Abstract

Microwave is used to treat temporal hearing loss caused by intravenous injection of the ethacrynic acid in guinea pigs. The recovery of hearing is much faster in the treated groups than in the control group. The article proposes possible mechanism of the effects against the ethacrynic acid induced deafness and assume that the result of this research can provide an experimental basis for treatment of some perceptive deafness due to ischemia of stria vascularis of the cochlea.
