Epidemiological studies have provided evidence that traffic noise exposure is linked to
cardiovascular diseases such as arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction, and stroke …

Modern research has provided new in-sights into the biological mechanisms of noise-
induced hearing loss, and with these new insights comes hope for possible prevention or …

The lungs as the gateways of our body to the external environment are essential for gas
exchange. They are also exposed to toxicants from two sides, the airways and the …

Little is known about the association between idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss
(ISSNHL) and oxidative stress. We investigated changes in a wide range of oxidants and …

Noise exposure is an important cause of acquired hearing loss. Studies have found that
noise exposure causes dysregulated redox homeostasis in cochlear tissue, which has been …

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is implicated in cisplatin ototoxicity.
Activation of this channel by cisplatin increases reactive oxygen species generation, which …

We have previously reported rescue from noise-induced auditory brainstem response (ABR)
threshold shifts with d-methionine (d-met) administration 1 h after noise exposure. The …

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 …

Oxidative stress in the cochlea is considered to play an important role in noise-induced
hearing loss. This study determined changes in superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, lipid …

Introduction Despite widespread use, many herbicides and fungicides are not well studied
for neurological effects. Fetal and infant brains are rapidly developing, yet the effects of early …
