Nicotine induced ototoxicity in rat cochlear organotypic cultures
Translational Neuroscience, 2021 Epidemiological evidence has shown that smoking is associated with an increased risk of hearing loss. However, the underlying mechanisms regarding the impact of nicotine on the cochlea remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the cytotoxic effects

Recent findings and emerging questions in cochlear noise injury [PDF]
Hearing Research, 2008 The lives of an estimated 10 million people in the United States are impacted by debilitating cochlear noise injury acquired in leisure or occupational settings (Kopke et al., 2007). Although noise injury has been intensively studied for decades, the only clinically successful preventive measure against noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) remains a ...

Neural Hyperactivity of the Central Auditory System in Response to Peripheral Damage
Neural Plasticity, 2016 It is increasingly appreciated that cochlear pathology is accompanied by adaptive responses in the central auditory system. The cause of cochlear pathology varies widely, and it seems that few commonalities can be drawn.

Pharmacological inhibition of cochlear mitochondrial respiratory chain induces secondary inflammation in the lateral wall: a potential therapeutic target for sensorineural hearing loss. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Cochlear lateral wall has recently been reported as a common site of inflammation, yet precise molecular mechanisms of the inflammatory responses remain elucidated. The present study examined the inflammatory responses in the lateral wall following acute
