Otoacoustic emissions: An approach for monitoring aminoglycoside‐induced ototoxicity [PDF]

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, 1994
AbstractOtotoxic drugs, such as aminoglycosides, affect outer hair cell integrity in the inner ear. Transiently evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) characteristics are related to outer hair cell function and can be expected to reflect the influence of ototoxic agents.
