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.

Evaluation of Audiometric Threshold Shift Criteria for Ototoxicity Monitoring [PDF]

Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2010
Background:There is disagreement about ototoxicity monitoring methods. Controversy exists about what audiometric threshold shift criteria should be used, which frequencies should be tested, and with what step size. An evaluation of the test performance achieved using various criteria and methods for ototoxicity monitoring may help resolve these issues.

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.
