Abstract
CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that treatment with radical scavengers has the potential to become an effective new therapy for presbyacusis. OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of treatment with the radical scavengers rebamipide and vitamin C for presbyacusis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Rebamipide (300 mg/day) and vitamin C (600 mg/day) were taken orally for at least 8 weeks by 23 patients with presbyacusis. RESULTS: Hearing levels after treatment were significantly improved at 125, 250, 500 and 8000 Hz but unchanged at 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz.
