Hypothesis: Local administration of the calcium-channel blocker (CCB), diltiazem, via intratympanic (IT) chitosan-glycerophosphate (CGP) hydrogel will protect against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Background: Cisplatin induces calcium-mediated apoptosis of cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs). Previous work demonstrated otoprotection and reduced auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold shifts in a cisplatin-induced ototoxicity mouse model treated with multiple doses of IT diltiazem given...
