H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In a laboratory model, aBR thresholds were significantly lower in H₂-treated animals at 2 weeks after exposure, with significant preservation of outer hair cells in the entire cochlea. These findings come from a laboratory model and suggest molecular hydrogen's biological potential. Further research is needed to determine clinical relevance.
