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.

Hydrogen-saturated saline protects intensive narrow band noise-induced hearing loss in guinea pigs through an antioxidant effect.

This animal study examined Hydrogen-saturated saline protects intensive narrow band noise-induced hearing loss in guinea pigs through an antioxidant effect. The abstract describes Animal model; hydrogen delivered as injected or infused hydrogen. The abstract reports: By Scanning electron microscopy and succinate dehydrogenase staining, we found that pre-treatment with hydrogen-saturated saline significantly reduced noise-induced hair cell damage and hearing loss. This is an automated editorial draft based on the abstract and requires source review before publication.
