Cerebral blood flow exerts a controlling influence over cochlear blood flow. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) (and with it the cochlear blood flow) can be increased most efficaciously by increasing arterial pCO2. A marked influence on cochlear blood flow after intravenous injection of vasoactive substances is not to be expected.
