Mobile Audiometry for Use in Ototoxicity Monitoring Programs: A Scoping Review. [PDF]
Ototoxicity monitoring programs (OMPs) for cisplatin-induced hearing loss have not been widely adopted in clinical practice for various reasons. Mobile audiometry (MA) offers cost and convenience advantages over conventional pure-tone audiometry (CA) and it is currently used in hearing screening. However, there is no consensus on whether MA can replace

Improving ototoxicity monitoring in patients receiving aminoglycosides using a novel digital approach: a quality improvement project [PDF]
Aminoglycoside antibiotics cause ototoxicity for which baseline audiometric testing is recommended but often not done. Barriers to successful implementation include limited availability of sound-booths and audiologists.

Evoked otoacoustic emissions — an approach for monitoring cisplatin induced ototoxicity in children
Cisplatin chemotherapy is associated with an increased risk of ototoxic changes. The incidence of hearing loss after the 1st cisplatin-infusion session is only scarcely mentioned in the international literature. With increasing survival rates, prevention and/or early detection of ototoxicity are important for providing management options.
