Abstract
The actual efficiency of the present medical treatments of the acoustic trauma is investigated. Guinea pigs are subjected to an acoustic trauma. The recovery of the noise-induced hearing loss is followed up to 14 days post exposure by electrocochleography and morphologic examination of the cochlea is performed (scanning electron microscopy) . When corticoids are administrated one hour after the noise exposure, less threshold shift and less hair cell damage are observed.
