After recording transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) to a click stimulus in guinea pigs by using the IL088 which was developed by Bray and Kemp (1987) for easy recording and analysis of TEOAE, the changes after intravenous administration of furosemide (30 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg) were examined. The wave of the TEOAE could be detected from 20 of 24 ears (83%). After the i.v. injection of furosemide (30 mg/kg), TEOAE powers (total echo power and highest peak power in FFT pictures) decreased quickly and showed minimum values after 5-10 min. Then they increased rapidly and recovered normally within 60 min after injection. However, no ears showed TEOAEs during the 5- to 10-min period following the injection of the 50-mg/kg dose of furosemide. They then recovered slowly as compared with the group treated with the lower dose of furosemide (30 mg/kg). These changes are similar to those of the endocochlear potential (EP) after furosemide injection. These data support the notion that the EP can contribute to the mechanism of TEOAE generation.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001300	Audiometry, Evoked Response	A form of electrophysiologic audiometry in which an analog computer is included in the circuit to average out ongoing or spontaneous brain wave activity. A characteristic pattern of response to a sound stimulus may then become evident. Evoked response audiometry is known also as electric response audiometry.
