The inner ear fluid pressure was measured in scala media of the guinea pig through one barrel of a double-barreled micropipette after a sudden volume increase or decrease, caused by injection or withdrawal of artificial endolymph through the other barrel. During injection or withdrawal, the inner ear pressure changed in the order of 1-10 cm water, but it returned to its initial value within a few seconds. The time constant for the pressure recovery depended on the flow direction. It was on average 1.1 s after a short overpressure and 2.8 s after underpressure. The obtained results could be fitted with a simple physical model, when it was assumed that inner ear pressure recovery is a non-linear process, governed by a pressure-dependent flow resistance and/or membrane compliance.
