Subject: Otoacoustic Emissions and Anticholinergics From: Barbara Reynolds <br_auditory(at)HOTMAIL.COM> Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2004 07:26:30 -0600<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE>Dear Lists:</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE>I am just re-reading a book on OAEs and it mentioned that furosemide attenuates OAEs. They speculated on the effects, but did not attribute the possible interaction of furosemide on the levels of ACh available for the outer hair cells. Is there anyone out there that may know of any research involving other anticholinergics as a class of drugs and their potential affects on ACh levels that can be measured through OAE's</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE>Barbara Reynolds, M.S.</DIV> <DIV class=RTE>Clinical Audiologist</DIV></div></html>
