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 …

Recent research has shown the essential role of reduced blood flow and free radical
formation in the cochlea in noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). The amount, distribution, and …

Free radical formation in the cochlea plays a key role in the development of noise-induced
hearing loss (NIHL). The amount, distribution, and time course of free radical formation have …

The amphipathic molecule dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) is a solvent often used to dissolve
compounds applied to the inner ear; however, little is known about its potential cytotoxic side …

Many inner ear disorders cannot be adequately treated by systemic drug delivery. A blood-
cochlear barrier exists, similar physiologically to the blood-brain barrier, which limits the …

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is an important etiology of deafness worldwide. Hearing
conservation programs are in place and have reduced the prevalence of NIHL, but this …

Millions of people are exposed daily to harmful levels of noise in their work environment.
This renders noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) one of the most important occupational …

The Tenth Edition of Hunter's Diseases of Occupations has been fully revised and updated,
presenting all practitioners considering an occupational cause for a patient's condition with …

The chinchilla animal model for noise-induced hearing loss has an extensive history
spanning more than 50 years. Many behavioral, anatomical, and physiological …

This review covers the molecular mechanisms involved in hair cell and hearing losses which
can result from trauma generated during the process of cochlear implantation and the …
