Abstract
Several experiments carried out during the past years indicate that strong magnetic fields induce disturbed blood circulation in capillaries and arterioles. When exposed to a magnetic field, disturbed blood circulation was found in the capillaries in frog webs as well as changes in skin temperature in several kinds of species. In our experiments we assessed the influence of a 8.5 T static magnetic field on the function of the inner ear of guinea pigs by monitoring the cochlea action potential. When blood circulation is disturbed in this organ it shows a rapid decline in function. Even when exposed to the magnetic field for 3 h, we could find no change in the function of the inner ear of the guinea pigs.
