Abstract
Damage to the stria vascularis resulting in leakage of macromolecules from the capillaries has been indicated in research as undermining the endocochlear potential. Results indicate normal paracellular diffusion and caveolae-mediated transcytosis, suggesting normal permeability that does not necessitate pathology or undermine the endocochlear potential.
