Research suggests that hearing loss from ototoxicants occurs mainly by reduced blood flow and oxidative stress. Hearing loss is the condition when you are unable to hear sounds partially or completely, in one or both of your ears. Noiseinduced tinnitus is often perceived after loud music exposure and provides an important marker for overexposure as a temporary threshold shift that is often not experienced by the individual itself.
