Aminoglycoside-induced hearing deficits – a review of cochlear ototoxicity

Abstract: This article aims to inform the reader about current knowledge of the effects of aminoglycosides on hearing. The hearing loss caused by aminoglycosides is permanent and can negatively affect the individual's quality of life. Although treatment with aminoglycosides cannot be avoided in some instances, timely intervention can minimise the impact of the hearing loss on the individual's everyday life. The discussion includes the incidence of aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss and predisposing factors. In addition… Show more

“…The damage starts at high-frequency coding cochlear base and progresses towards the apex. 19,20 In our study all children received treatment as per MCP841 protocol which include 12 doses of vincristine at a dose of 1.4 mg/m 2 between baseline and follow up evaluation and cranial irradiation of 1800cGy in those aged above 3 years. Antibiotics were selected at recommended doses depending on the clinical demands.…”

“…Developing countries, such as South Africa, utilize kanamycin because it is an easily accessible and inexpensive multidrugresistant tuberculosis treatment (Harris et al, 2012;Peterson & Rogers, 2015). Kanamycin is commonly used alongside other aminoglycosides, such as capreomycin and amikacin, to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium complex, as well as other non-tuberculous mycobacteria and pyelonephritis (Peloquin et al, 2004).…”

“…Nephrotoxicity is reversible and clinically managed with hydration therapy, however ototoxicity is permanent and profoundly hinder the patient quality of life. [1][2][3] Aminoglycoside induced ototoxicity can be due to damage of vestibular system or auditory system or both. Amikacin, kanamycin and neomycin, are mainly cochleotoxic.…”
