Over 100 drugs and chemicals are associated with permanent hearing loss, tinnitus, and
vestibular deficits, collectively known as ototoxicity. The ototoxic potential of drugs is rarely …

Zebrafish, like all fish species, use sound to learn about their environment. Thus, human-
generated (anthropogenic) sound added to the environment has the potential to disrupt the …

Aquatic noise has increased in last decades imposing new constraints on aquatic animals'
acoustic communication. Meagre (Argyrosomus regius) produce loud choruses during the …

Exposure to continuous moderate noise levels is known to impair the auditory system
leading to Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) in animals including humans. The …

There is a need for fast, efficient, and cost-effective hazard identification and characterization
of chemical hazards. This need is generating increased interest in the use of zebrafish …

Hearing loss caused by frequent and persistent exposure to loud noise is one of the most
common diseases in modern society. Many studies have demonstrated the characteristics of …

Anthropogenic noise can be hazardous for the auditory system and wellbeing of animals,
including humans. However, very limited information is known on how this global …

Exposure to ototoxic drugs is a significant cause of hearing loss that affects about 30
thousand children with potentially serious physical, social and psychological dysfunctions …

Zebrafish is a well-established model organism in hearing research. Although the acoustic
environment is known to shape the structure and sensitivity of auditory systems, there is no …

Piezo proteins have been identified as mechanosensitive ion channels involved in
mechanotransduction. Several ion channel dysfunctions may be associated with diseases …
