Abstract
![CDATA[There are currently no effective treatments for Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL), however, recent studies have shown that certain antioxidants can, to some extent, protect against NIHL. There is some evidence to suggest a link between NIHL and oxidative stress, and antioxidants may play a role in reducing the damaging effects of reactive oxygen species within the peripheral auditory system. Our study measured changes in hearing thresholds following acoustic trauma in animals given Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), a potent antioxidant, either before or after the acoustic trauma.]]
