“…High-tone loss can occur with any technique and results from localized Organ of Corti degeneration traumatic or toxic in origin. Experimental work by Williams, McNeill and Schuknecht (1964) failed to demonstrate any inner ear damage in cats by repeated forceful pressure upon the oval window graft area and they concluded that the helicotrema permitted rapid release of any pressure rise within one compartment of the inner ear.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
