Article Synopsis
- The study investigates a resistance phenomenon in guinea pigs where a non-damaging dose of amikacin may protect hair cells from ototoxic effects.
- The experiment involved three groups of guinea pigs, using distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) to assess hearing before, during, and after treatment with amikacin.
- Results showed that while the initial protective effect was observed, it did not last long-term, with significant auditory function loss after administering damaging doses of amikacin.
