    Area of Science:

    • Ototoxicology
    • Auditory Neuroscience
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Therapeutic agents like antibiotics, diuretics, and analgesics can induce inner ear damage.
    • Environmental noise, in both recreational and occupational settings, poses a risk to the auditory system.
    • The combined effect of ototoxic drugs and noise exposure can exacerbate auditory system damage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current research on the mechanisms of ototoxic drug-induced hearing loss.
    • To explore the complex interactions between noise exposure and ototoxic medications.
    • To discuss potential prophylactic measures against drug- and noise-induced ototoxicity.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of recent research and scientific controversies.
    • Analysis of studies investigating the site and mechanism of action of major ototoxic drugs.
    • Examination of research on noise-drug interactions and their impact on auditory function.

    Main Results:

    • Ototoxic agents can cause both functional and morphological damage to the inner ear.
    • The synergistic effect of noise and certain ototoxic drugs presents a significant risk to hearing.
    • Understanding these interactions is crucial for developing effective protective strategies.

    Conclusions:

    • Ototoxicity is a serious concern associated with various therapeutic agents and environmental factors.
    • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms of noise-drug interactions.
    • Developing effective prophylactic strategies is essential for preventing hearing loss in at-risk individuals.
