Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Functional Hearing Loss:

1.	Cisplatin (Platino)FDA LinkGeneric 08/01/2013 - "Functional hearing loss or hair cell damage was not different in TPMT knockout vs. wild-type mice following cisplatin treatment, and neither TPMT nor COMT variant was associated with cisplatin cytotoxicity in lymphoblastoid cell lines. " 11/01/1998 - "The whole subjects of this study were 414 ears with inner ear hearing loss, 278 ears with normal hearing, 113 ears of neonates, 62 ears of the patients who were administered cisplatin, and 15 ears with functional hearing loss. " 04/01/2007 - "Functional hearing loss was measured by shifts in auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds after cisplatin treatment, and hair-cell loss was assessed by whole-mount phalloidin staining of cochlear turns. "
2.	tebufenozide (Mimic)IBA 07/01/2012 - "There are several conditions that may mimic functional hearing loss, so auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing is necessary to verify the actual cause. " 07/01/2006 - "Finally, conditions that may mimic functional hearing loss are described in detail."
3.	PhalloidineIBA 04/01/2007 - "Functional hearing loss was measured by shifts in auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds after cisplatin treatment, and hair-cell loss was assessed by whole-mount phalloidin staining of cochlear turns. "
4.	APTIBA 04/01/1976 - "First, one must consider carefully the patient's behavior before and during the otologic and audiologic examination, and note the referral source, if any, since patients with certain backgrounds are more apt to exhibit functional hearing loss than others. "
5.	TOPSIBA 09/01/1990 - "Subjects with functional hearing loss may emphasize either time or intensity in their inappropriate responses when +/- 20 dB is added at tops and/or bottoms of spikes."

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Hearing Aids (Hearing Aid) 01/01/2014 - "Using the UK Biobank data, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of functional hearing loss and hearing aid usage on visuospatial memory function. "
2.	Cochlear Implants (Cochlear Implant) 04/01/2015 - "Four cochlear implant candidates with psychogenic hearing loss were identified. " 04/01/2015 - "Cochlear implant candidates with psychogenic hearing loss." 09/01/1994 - "Nonorganic hearing loss in cochlear implant candidates." 02/01/2012 - "We describe for the first time localized necrotizing meningoencephalitis as the cause of functional hearing loss, facial nerve palsy, and vertigo after cochlear implant (CI) surgery. "
3.	Cochlear Implantation 04/01/2015 - "Specific requests for cochlear implantations by persons with psychogenic hearing loss are a relatively new phenomenon. " 09/01/1994 - "Five patients undergoing assessment for cochlear implantation have been found to have a nonorganic hearing loss (pseudohypacusis). "
