The inner ear hydrodynamics have been studied in a series of experiments on cats. A detailed analysis has been made of the perilymphatic pressure response to square wave pressure pulses applied to the ear canal and middle ear. It was found that the initial pressure response was followed by a rebound pressure response of the opposite phase. It was also found that in most cases each phase of the pressure response could be expressed in terms of two time constants. When the cochlear aqueduct was patent, the perilymphatic pressure response showed almost equal positive and negative pressure changes. However, when the cochlear aqueduct was surgically blocked, the perilymphatic pressure response consisted almost exclusively of the first phase of the response, while the rebound phase disappeared almost completely. The possibility of influencing the inner ear fluid balance in Meniere's disease by external pressure changes is discussed in the light of the present experimental results.
在内耳流体动力学方面，已经在一系列猫的实验中进行了研究。对施加于耳道和中耳的方波压力脉冲所引起的外淋巴压力反应进行了详细分析。发现初始压力反应之后是相反相位的反弹压力反应。还发现，在大多数情况下，压力反应的每个阶段都可以用两个时间常数来表示。当蜗水管通畅时，外淋巴压力反应显示出几乎相等的正负压力变化。然而，当蜗水管通过手术阻塞时，外淋巴压力反应几乎完全由反应的第一阶段组成，而反弹阶段几乎完全消失。根据目前的实验结果，讨论了通过外部压力变化影响梅尼埃病内耳液体平衡的可能性。
