abstract：:It is well documented that quinine induces reversible hearing loss and tinnitus. The purpose in this study was to induce a quinine hearing loss and to investigate if verapamil, a Ca2+ channel antagonist of L-type might affect the response. Pigmented guinea pigs (n = 24) were anaesthetized by atropine. Hypnorm and mida...
