Practices employed by audiologists in the management of adult patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in South Africa

South African Family Practice, 2015
Introduction: Aminoglycosides used for treating multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis are ototoxic, leading to a need for audiological monitoring. While audiologists monitor ototoxicity, currently there are no guidelines on monitoring in the South ...

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

The 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.

Baseline audiological profiling of South African females with cervical cancer: an important attribute for assessing cisplatin-associated ototoxicity

BMC Women's Health, 2021
Background Cisplatin is a popular antineoplastic agent used to treat cervical cancer in women from low and middle-income countries. Cisplatin treatment is associated with ototoxicity, often resulting in hearing loss.

Audiological Monitoring of Patients Receiving Ototoxic Drugs [PDF]

Perspectives on Hearing and Hearing Disorders Research and Diagnostics, 2005
Over 200 medications commonly prescribed for the treatment of cancers and some infections can cause inner ear damage, or ototoxicity (ASHA, 2004). Ototoxicity can result in auditory and/or vestibular dysfunction, and the effects can be temporary, but are often permanent.

High incidence of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in paediatric patients in the Western Cape, South Africa

South African Journal of Oncology, 2018
Background: Fourteen million new cancer cases are reported annually, and up to 10% of those involve children below 15 years. Cisplatin, a commonly used anti-cancer drug for its high success rate, is associated with ototoxicity.
