Summary:On an evolutionary level, hearing loss reduces the perception of environmental auditory cues associated with beneficial or detrimental outcomes (e.g., localizing sounds associated with mating or predators). [...]the ability to hear well is crucial. Determining the structure-activity relationships (i.e., how chemical structures affect the efficacy and/or safety) of candidate otoprotectants and their derivatives against ototoxicity and noise-induced hearing loss will accelerate the translation of candidate otoprotectants into clinical trials, similar to those described since these articles were published (Chowdhury et al., 2017; Kenyon et al., 2017). [...]candidate otoprotectants need to be screened to ensure they do not inadvertently protect bacteria or tumor cells from the crucial cytotoxic effects of aminoglycosides and platinum-based drugs.
