Protective properties of idebenone in noise-induced hearing loss
Summary Idebenone is an analogue of coenzyme Q10 with antioxidant properties. The present study investigated the antioxidant activity of idebenone in the rescue of acoustic trauma. Noise-induced hearing loss was provoked in guinea pigs in which idebenone was injected. The results suggested an antioxidant function of idebenone in protection from noise-induced hearing loss.
