title = "Manipulations of chloride ion concentration in the organ of corti alter outer hair cell electromotility and cochlear amplification",
abstract = "There is evidence that intracellular chloride ions modulate prestin function. This study investigated how chloride ions (Cl-) influence cochlear sensitivity and OHC electromotility. Lowering perilymph Cl- concentration greatly reduced the magnitude of basal turn BM motion and the electrically evoked otoacoustic emissions. These effects could be modulated by tributyltin (TBT, a Cl- ionophore). The results indicate that the electrochemical drive for Cl- is important for normal activity of prestin.",
