Endocochlear potential (EP) and K+ activity in the scala media were recorded by means of K+ sensitive doublebarrelled microelectrodes in the second turn of the cochlea of the guinea pig during the perilymphatic perfusion of furosemide and ouabain. Furosemide produced a less decrease in K+ activity relative to the EP decrease than ouabain. The result suggests that furosemide reduces the EP by different mechanisms from the deterioration of K+ secretion potentig resulting from the inhibition of Na+-K+ ATPase.
