Capabilities of hydrogen molecules for use in the prevention and treatment in noise induced hearing loss
This narrative review examined literature concerning molecular hydrogen and its potential relevance to the auditory system, particularly the prevention and treatment of noise-induced hearing loss. The authors searched Medline, Google Scholar, PubMed, and SID and reviewed relevant textbooks and publications from 1973 through 2012.
Read MoreHydrogen-saturated saline protects intensive narrow band noise-induced hearing loss in guinea pigs through an antioxidant effect.
In guinea pigs, by Scanning electron microscopy and succinate dehydrogenase staining, the researchers found that pre-treatment with hydrogen-saturated saline significantly reduced noise-induced hair cell damage and hearing loss. These results are preclinical and suggest molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential in the condition studied. Further human research is needed to establish clinical effectiveness.
