This investigation tested the hypothesis that a noise-induced temporary threshold shift (TTS) can be attenuated by a peroxynitrite scavenger, ebselen (2-phenyl-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one). Guinea pigs received an oral dose of the vehicle or 10mg/kg ebselen 1h before exposure to 115dB SPL 4-kHz octave band noise for 3h. In controls, auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds increased by 25–45dB immediately after noise and returned to pre-exposure baseline thresholds 7 days later. Ebselen eliminated this ABR threshold shift following noise exposure. In controls, swelling of the afferent dendrites beneath the inner hair cells was evident immediately after noise, whereas ebselen significantly reduced this pathology. These findings suggest that scavenging peroxynitrite can attenuate noise-induced excitotoxicity and, thereby, TTS.
