The aim of this work was to estimate the different features of transient-evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) and distortion-product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) of cochlear under conditions of simulated microgravity (21-day “dry” immersion). The study included 10 healthy male volunteers, aged 23 to 34 years (median age, 30.5 years). TEOAEs and DPOAEs were measured before the 21-day “dry” immersion, on the 3rd, 7th, 14th and 21st day of exposure and in the recovery period. The signal-to-noise ratio, dB were evaluated in the stimulation frequency band of 1 kHz – 4 kHz (for the TEOAE) and in the range from 556 Hz to 4444 Hz – frequencies 556 Hz; 684 Hz; 988 Hz; 1481 Hz; 2222 Hz; 2963 Hz and 4444 Hz (for the DPOAE). The TEOAEs date (n = 10) presented a significant (p ≤0.05) decrease for a stimulation frequency of 1 kHz. The DPOAEs date (n = 6), presented a pronounced decrease of values for stimulation at frequencies below 1 kHz (556 Hz; 684 Hz; 988 Hz). Thus, a 21-day “dry immersion” experiment data analysis showed a significant changes in cochlear function status, demonstrating the reduction in TEOAEs and DPOAEs parameters at below 1 kHz frequency. The results prove that otoacoustic emission testing of cochlear is the proposed promising noninvasive method for testing the microgravity-induced intracranial pressure increase observed during spaceflight.

Key words: transient-evoked otoacoustic emission, distortion-product otoacoustic emission, microgravity, dry immersion, intracranial pressure
