7. 2, 10 mM Hepes, and 10 mM glucose. The solution was adjusted to a pH of 7.3 and an osmolality of 320 mOsm/kg. We stained the plasma membrane of the isolated cells with di-8-ANEPPS, a fluorescent molecule with a short hydrophobic tail that inserts itself into the outer leaflet of the phospholipid bilayer. Di-8-ANEPPS (75 μM) was dispersed into extracellular solution by sonication for 1 min, and the cells were stained for 5 min before unbound dye was thoroughly rinsed away with extracellular solution alone [V. Montana, D. L. Farkas, L M. Loew, Biochemistry 28, 4536 (1989); J. S. Oghalai, T. D. Tran, R. M. Raphael, T. Nakagawa, W. E. Brownell, Hear. Res. 135, 19 (1999)].

9. Imaging was performed using a Bio-Rad (Hercules, CA) scanning confocal system with a krypton/argon laser, configured on an Axiovert 35 microscope (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany) with a 100x oil immersion objective. The laser excitation wavelength was 488 nm; the fluorescent emission was collected using a long-pass filter with a corner wavelength of 515 nm. We initially positioned the laser beam of the confocal microscope tangential to the OHC lateral wall to create a photobleached spot. The laser power was 50 μW and the spot radius was roughly 5 μm. Rapid scanning confocal images were then taken over the next minute to document the recovery phase. The three-point fit method was used to determine the membrane diffusion coefficient. For the drug application experiments, only a single diffusion coefficient measurement was made per cell. For the voltage-clamp experiments, up to four measurements of the diffusion coefficient were made per OHC Each measure-ment was made at a different location along the lateral wall. Due to difficulties with phototoxicity, it was impossible to collect a large number of data points from a single cell. We stopped using a cell when a change in the input impedance indicated either membrane breakdown or a loss of the tight seal between the recording pipette and the cell membrane. Most cells allowed one to three measurements [D. Axelrod, D. E. Koppel, J. Schlessinger, E. Elson, W. W. Webb, Biophys. J. 16, 1055 (1976)].

14. 2, 5 mM EGTA, and 10 mM Hepes, with an osmolality of 305 mOsm/ kg and a pH of 7.3. Gigohm seals were formed at the base of the OHCs. After the whole-cell mode was entered, the series resistance was between 10 and 30 megohms. On-line series resistance compensation was 75 to 95%, and residual series resistance was not compensated.
15. Osmotic challenge experiments were performed using a lower NaCl concentration (130 mM). Glucose was added as needed to achieve osmolalities from 265 to 365 mOsm/kg. A 245 mOsm/kg solution was created by adding additional free water.

21. Sodium salicylate (10 mM) and/or chlorpromazine (0.1 mM) were included in the extracellular solution for these experiments. These concentrations were chosen because they cause equal and opposite membrane bending in the RBC (10, 11). All solutions were adjusted to a pH of 7.3 and an osmolality of 320 mOsm/kg.

23. Images of outer hair cell electromotility were recorded on Super-VHS videotape. Length measurements were made off-line with NIH Image software. The apical edge of the cell was determined by fitting the pixel intensity function with a parabola and using the local maximum as the border.
