ABSTRACT
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) induced by noise has increased in recent years due to personal headphone use and noisy urban environments. The study shows a novel model of gradually progressive SNHL induced by repeated exposure to moderate noise (8-kHz octave band noise, 90-dB sound pressure level) for 1 hr exposure per day in BALB/cCr mice. The results showed that the repeated exposure led to gradually progressive SNHL, which was dependent on the number of exposures, and resulted in permanent hearing loss after 5 exposures. Repeated exposure to noise causes a loss of synapses between the inner hair cells and the peripheral terminals of the auditory nerve fibers. Additionally, there is a reduction in the expression levels of c-fos and Arc, both of which are indicators of cochlear nerve responses to noise exposure. Oral administration of resveratrol (RSV, 50 mg/kg/day) during the noise exposure period significantly prevented the noise exposure-induced synapse loss and SNHL. Furthermore, the study found that RSV treatment prevented the noise-induced increase in the gene expression levels of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1ß in the cochlea. These results demonstrated the potential usefulness of RSV in preventing noise-induced SNHL in the animal model established as gradually progressive SNHL.
