Even 90 seconds of low-frequency exposure measurably alters inner ear active mechanisms

Evidence

In summary, the current experiments reveal a pronounced effect of LF exposure on the active mechanisms in the inner ear, as they are mediated by OHCs. Considering that the current LF exposure was limited to 90 s, it is unclear how a longer-duration LF exposure may affect the system. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3749

• QUESTION: Longer or repeated LF exposure effects remain an open experimental question worth chasing.
