Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the second most common cause of sensorineural
hearing loss, after age-related hearing loss, and affects approximately 5% of the world's …

Oxidative stress is an important mechanism underlying cellular damage of the inner ear,
resulting in hearing loss. In order to prevent hearing loss, several types of antioxidants have …

The hormone estradiol affects the auditory system both by itself and by its interaction with
neuroprotective factors. In this study, we examined the role of estrogen receptors (ERs) in …

The alteration in the levels of plasma corticosterone, brain norepinephrine (NE), and
expression of brain heat shock proteins (Hsp70) after different durations of noise exposure …

Oxidative stress is a major contributor to noise-induced hearing loss, the most common
cause of hearing loss among military personnel and young adults. HK-2 is a potent, orally …

Exposure to loud sound can irreversibly damage or destroy peripheral auditory structures,
including the inner hair cells (IHCs) and outer hair cells (OHCs) of the cochlea and the spiral …

Sound conditioning primes the auditory system to low levels of acoustic stimuli and reduces
damage caused by a subsequent acoustic trauma. This priming activates the HPA axis …

Background Noise-induced hearing loss represents a commonly diagnosed type of hearing
disability, severely impacting the quality of life of individuals. The current work is aimed at …

An appropriate conditioning noise exposure may reduce a subsequent noise-induced
threshold shift. Although this “toughening” effect helps to protect the auditory system from a …

Background: Antioxidants and the duration of treatment after noise exposure on hearing
recovery are important. We investigated the protective effects of an antioxidant substance …
