September 2014 in “Neuroscience Letters” This study found that metformin did not prevent gentamicin-induced hearing loss and even worsened auditory threshold shifts and caused adverse effects at higher doses in guinea pigs.

February 2010 in “Proceedings of SPIE” This study suggests that low level laser therapy may promote hair cell regeneration in rat cochlear explants following gentamicin-induced damage.
March 2024 in “Biochimica et biophysica acta. Molecular basis of disease” This study found that deferoxamine may protect against sensorineural hearing loss by reducing oxidative stress-induced hair cell death through iron chelation and activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway in lab models.
May 2024 in “Biochemical pharmacology” This study found that targeting CISD1 with the compound NL-1 reduced mitochondrial dysfunction and reactive oxygen species accumulation, protecting against cisplatin-induced hearing loss in cell models and mice, without affecting cisplatin's cancer-fighting effectiveness.
