Abstract
This study has reported the effect of high intensity auditory stimulation upon the audiogram and upon intensity discrimination thresholds. In general, there was a good correlation between the histopathological damage observed and the audiograms obtained. It was not however, possible to produce moderate hair cell damage without accompanying neurological involvement. Possibly as a result of this there were no significant decreases in the intensity discrimination threshold of the experimental animals. In addition, the extent of cochlear damage was found to exceed the range of the exposing frequencies very significantly, particularly in an apical direction.Keywords
