Treatment of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

Abstract

The actual efficiency of the present medical treatments of the acoustic trauma is investigated. Guinea pigs are subjected to an acoustic trauma. The recovery of the noise-induced hearing loss is followed up to 14 days post exposure by electrocochleography and morphologic examination of the cochlea is performed (scanning electron microscopy) . When corticoids are administrated one hour after the noise exposure, less threshold shift and less hair cell damage are observed.
