Yes it has a depolarizing effect.
It's during the "rising phase" when the membrane potential becomes more positive.
The hair cells of the organ of Corti vibrate and depolarize the neurons associated with them. used Hole's 11th edition of Health anatomy and physiology!
First one must outflux negative ions because the inner cell membrane is already slightly negative.
Action Potential
depolarize
Hyperpolarize
Both hyperpolarize it and decrease the magnitude of the potassium equilibrium potential.

It's during the "rising phase" when the membrane potential becomes more positive.
Hyperkalemia decrease a cell's membrane potential beyond the threshold value so it can't depolarize again.
An extracellular increase of potassium (increase of intracellular Sodium) causes depolarization. The opposite, I presume, meaning high intracellular potassium (inside cell) and high extracellular sodium (outside cell) would be hyperpolarization
Hyperpolarize the Membrane
By increasing the extracellular K+ there is efflux and also influx into the cell which increases the tendency of the cell to depolarize.
