Abstract
⺠Mitochondria play a major role in cochlear function and dysfunction. ⺠Noise may affect mitochondrial metabolism by calcium influx. âºÂ Presbycusis correlates with distinct mitochondrial lesions but not necessarily with oxidative stress. ⺠Aminoglycosides inhibit the respiratory chain via targeting mitochondrial function. ⺠Non-ototoxic aminoglycosides can be developed by eliminating their activity against the mitochondrial ribosome.
