•Immunoreactivity of HMIT is shown in the marginal cells and basal cells of stria vascularis.•Immunoreactivity of SMIT1 is shown in the strial basal cells facing the perilymph.•Both HMIT and SMIT1 in the stria vascularis may be involved in the homeostasis of cochlear fluids. The cochlear stria vascu...
