Perspectives and practices of ototoxicity monitoring
Background: Treatment of cancer with cisplatin can result in hearing loss. Given the increasing burden of cancer in Africa, appropriate and timely identification, intervention and management of hearing loss in affected patients is of paramount importance.

Navigating the Genetic Risk of Chemotherapy‐Induced Hearing Loss in the Stria Vascularis
Cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug that causes permanent hearing loss by damaging a critical tissue lining the inner ear, called the stria vascularis (SV). Currently, the molecular mechanisms of SV damage are largely unknown and the incidence of ototoxicity in patients cannot be reliably predicted.

Healthcare professionals’ knowledge and practices in managing ototoxicity in children with cancer
Background: Platinum-based chemotherapy poses a risk of ototoxic hearing loss, the effects of which can be devastating in paediatrics with cancer. Childhood hearing loss significantly impacts speech and language acquisition, and educational, psychosocial

Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or Intratympanic Steroids in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is traditionally treated with steroids, either orally and/or via intratympanic injections, and hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) has resurged in popularity as an adjunctive therapy. The study has not found any additional treatment benefit with adjunctive concurrent HBOT; however, HBOT might be of value to patients ...

Mechanisms of Cisplatin-Induced Ototoxicity and Prevention
Cisplatin is a highly effective antineoplastic agent used to treat solid tumors. Unfortunately, the administration of this drug leads to significant side effects, including ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and neurotoxicity.

Mesna in Otologic Surgery: Efficacy and Safety—A Scoping Review
PRISMA flow diagram indicating the process of systematic inclusion and exclusion of articles. ABSTRACT Objective Mesna (Sodium 2‐mercaptoethanesulfonate) is widely used as a mucolytic agent and uroprotective agent. Recently, its disulfide bond‐breaking property has been applied in otologic surgery to facilitate safer dissection of cholesteatoma and ...

Rate of Hearing Loss in Platinum‐Naïve Patients Receiving Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
Abstract Objective Hearing loss from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has been documented in case reports and case series. We present the largest retrospective study investigating the rate of ICI‐related ototoxicity in a monitored cohort of platinum‐naïve patients. Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Tertiary‐care center.
