A number of otoprotective agents are currently being investigated. Various types of agents
have been found in animal studies to protect against hearing loss induced by cisplatin,
carboplatin, aminoglycosides, or noise exposure. For over a decade we have been
investigating d-methionine (d-met) as an otoprotective agent. Studies in our laboratory and
others around the world have documented d-met's otoprotective action, in a variety of
species, against a variety of ototoxic insults including cisplatin-, carboplatin …
