[Receptor epithelium of the vestibular apparatus and cochlea in exposure to acceleration and noise].

The method for isolating and treating the vestibular and cochlear compartments of the inner ear was developed. Also, the procedure of histological treatment of temporal bones was modified. The pathogenesis of vestibulo-cochlear disorders due to acceleration and noise was investigated using histology, electron microscopy and histochemistry methods. It was found that exposure to acceleration of 10 Gx for 5 min and single and repeated (for 7 days) exposures to high-frequency noise of 100 dB produced histological changes and functional-morphological variations in all receptors located in the vestibular and cochlear compartments of the inner ear.
