Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow: Exploring Quinoxaline Derivatives as a Treatment for Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
… with some degree of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and 1 billion young adults at risk of developing NIHL. Currently, there are no FDA-approved drugs that protect the inner ear against NIHL. To address this need, my thesis aims to investigate the therapeutic potential of quinoxaline derivatives …

An Ecological Approach to the Assessment and Promotion of Hearing Protection Behaviour in the Workplace
Background: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a common debilitating occupational health problem in New Zealand and globally. In addition to the economic burden arising from compensation and rehabilitation for NIHL, quality of life is diminished. Unfortunately, interventions to prevent NIHL have …

Interactive effects of developmental PCB exposure and relevant environmental risks on the auditory system
… susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Since PCBs are known to cause hearing deficits via outer hair cell (OHC) damage, and the OHCs protect the inner ear from noise-induced damage, it was hypothesized that PCB-exposed rats would have more severe NIHL after intense noise exposure. …

Early identification and monitoring of cochlear damage using extended high-frequency audiometry : a systematic review
… cochlear damage, especially in participants with NIHL. In conclusion, the systematic review demonstrated that EHF audiometry may be beneficial in the clinical assessment of cochlear damage both for early identification and for monitoring purposes. Including this procedure in clinical practice will …
