A number of clinical entities may result from a decrease in inner ear blood flow. Investigators have attempted to determine a relationship between decreased blood flow and such entities. In this article, we shall relate the effects of administration of drugs in animal models on cochlear blood flow, using the laser Doppler flowmeter.
