fa Morphometry Morphometry Original Original <strong>Purpose</strong>: the aim of thos survey is establishment of an animal model through which a rapid distortion of the hair cell of cochlea administering amikacin and furosemide and using distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) the functioning of rat&rsquo;s ear would be assessed.<strong>Materials and Methods</strong>: Forty-eight male Sprague dawley rats (with average of weight 200-250g, 12&nbsp;weeks post natal) were randomly divided into six equal groups. Except the control group the rest received 0.5mg/g, 0.75mg/g, 1mg/g, 1.25mg/g, and 1.5mg/g, of subcutaneous amikacin respectively. 30 minutes later every rat received 0.1mg/g of furosemide intrapritoneally. DPOAE of rats was measured prior to these injections and 72 hours later. Then tissue section of the rat&rsquo;s cochlea was prepared.Data were analyzed by means of SPSS (version 17) and ANOVA test and paired sample T test at the significant level of p&pound;0.05.<strong>Results</strong>: All the cases had a significant decrease in their DPOAE with the frequencies 2KHz-8KHz (p&pound;0.05). The most change in DPOAE was in rats which had received 1mg/g&ndash;1.5mg/g amikacin. Histological studies approved distortion of hair cell even within the apical turn.<strong>Conclusion</strong>: To establish a deafness model due to losing hair cells, it is recommended to use a combination of 1mg/g amikacin and 0.1mg/g furosemide. Besides, DPOAE can be used to approve deafness.
