  • Title: Transtympanic electrocochleography during glycerol dehydration.
    Author: Moffat DA, Gibson WP, Ramsden RT, Morrison AW, Booth JB.
    Journal: Acta Otolaryngol; 1978; 85(3-4):158-66. PubMed ID: 636865.
    Abstract:
    Thirteen patients with Meniere's disorder were tested using transtympanic electrocochleography during glycerol dehydration. The most common finding was a decrease in the negative summating potential and this appeared to be a more sensitive indicator of changes occurring in the cochlea than pure tone audiometry and speech discrimination. A pathophysiological explanation for this observation is offered and the possibility of using this decrease in the negative summating potential as a pointer to the prognosis of endolymphatic sac surgery is discussed.
