Acoustic exposure to high intensity and/or prolonged noise causes temporary or permanent threshold shifts in auditory perception, reflected by reversible or irreversible damage in the cochlea. Aminoglycoside antibiotics, used for treating or preventing life-threatening bacterial infections, also induce cytotoxicity in the cochlea. Combined noise and aminoglycoside exposure, particularly in neonatal intensive care units, can lead to auditory threshold shifts greater than simple summation of the two insults. The synergistic toxicity of acoustic exposure and aminoglycoside antibiotics is not limited to simultaneous exposures. Prior acoustic insult which does not result in permanent threshold shifts potentiates aminoglycoside ototoxicity. In addition, exposure to subdamaging doses of aminoglycosides aggravates noise-induced cochlear damage. The mechanisms by which aminoglycosides cause auditory dysfunction are still being unraveled, but likely include the following: 1) penetration into the endolymphatic fluid of the scala media, 2) permeation of nonselective cation channels on the apical surface of hair cells, and 3) generation of toxic reactive oxygen species and interference with other cellular pathways. Here we discuss the effect of combined noise and aminoglycoside exposure to identify pivotal synergistic events that can potentiate ototoxicity, in addition to a current understanding of aminoglycoside trafficking within the cochlea. Preventing the ototoxic synergy of noise and aminoglycosides is best achieved by using non-ototoxic bactericidal drugs, and by attenuating perceived noise intensity when life-saving aminoglycoside therapy is required.

| Aminoglycoside Toxicity | |  |
Aminoglycosides are antibiotics that are highly effective in treating life-threatening Gram-negative bacterial infections, such as meningitis and bacterial sepsis in infants. [1],[2] However, aminoglycosides also induce tissue-specific cytotoxicity in the cochlea and kidney. Commonly used aminoglycosides such as amikacin, gentamicin, and tobramycin, are administered in doses based on body weight and their toxicity is dose related. Individuals who receive sufficiently high doses of aminoglycosides experience both functional and/or morphological damage in the cochlea. [3]
The ototoxicity of aminoglycosides has been extensively researched in small animals such as guinea pigs. Repeated gentamicin doses of 100 mg/kg/day for 10 days is considered highly ototoxic, [4] causing both raised hearing thresholds and extensive cochlear hair cell loss. [5] Repeated gentamicin administration of 50 mg/kg/day (10-fold higher than the clinical dose used in human adults) for 10 days did not produce overt ototoxicity in guinea pigs. [4] However, this does not mean that doses lower than 50 mg/kg/day are non-ototoxic. Many other known ototoxins, such as loop diuretics and noise, can synergistically interact with aminoglycosides and damage the cochlea when either insult alone appears harmless. Thus, the presence of other known ototoxins always reduces the safe dose of aminoglycosides.
The physiological effects of aminoglycosides include cation channel blockade in a variety of tissues; cation wasting of calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium in urine excreted from the kidneys; extracellular blockade of calcium influx; and even evoke intracellular calcium signaling by activating the calcium sensing receptor. [6],[7],[8],[9],[10],[11],[12],[13] Aminoglycosides not only block the mechanosensitive transduction channel of inner ear hair cells, but also permeate through it, and other nonselective cation channels. [14],[15],[16],[17] Once taken up into the cell via ion channel permeation or endocytosis, aminoglycosides induce a wide variety of effects including elevation of intracellular calcium levels [18] and generation of toxic levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) [19],[20],[21] depending on cell type and intracellular conditions. These effects can initiate several different mechanisms of hair cell death (often simultaneously) that are dependent on the type of aminoglycoside exposure; for example, acute or chronic exposure with low or high dosing regimens. In vivo , aminoglycosides are preferentially taken up by basal hair cells and consequently are more susceptible to aminoglycoside-induced cytotoxicity. [22],[23],[24] The experimental design is also critical since apoptotic death pathways are frequently observed during in vitro experiments, while in vivo experiments display necrotic and caspase-independent death pathways more frequently. [25],[26],[27] Aminoglycoside-induced hair cell death processes may continue for up to four weeks after cessation of drug administration.
| Acoustic Trauma | | |
Acoustic trauma can occur in many environments, including occupational ( e.g ., industrial, manufacturing, construction, military), or recreational (rock concerts, sports stadia, hunting, headphones). Exposure to damaging levels of sound occurs in two major forms. Firstly, impulse noise from artillery explosions or gunshots that produce high intensity sound physically damages hair cell stereocilia and produces discrete lesions in the sensory epithelia of the cochlea. Secondly, long-term exposure to lower (but still high) intensity noise generates high levels of ROS, coupled with physiological changes in the blood-labyrinth barrier that result in temporary auditory dysfunction and often permanent hearing loss. [28],[29],[30],[31],[32]
Noise also induces a variety of cochlear pathologies, ranging from physical disruption of hair cell stereocilia and organ of Corti integrity [29],[33] to increased endocytosis, vacuolation, mitochondrial lesions, elevation of intracellular calcium concentrations, and the generation of ROS. [34],[35],[36] These phenomena can lead to apoptotic and/or necrotic cell death processes that may continue for up to 30 days after exposure. [37],[38],[39],[40]
| Aminoglycosides and Noise | | |
Potentiation of aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity by concurrent exposure to noise has been investigated since the 1960s when animals receiving aminoglycosides appeared to be more susceptible to noise-induced hearing loss [41] and reported conclusively by Gannon and Tso in 1969 and in subsequent animal studies. [42],[43] These observations were confirmed by Jack Vernon's group that reported a very prominent synergistic effect of noise and neomycin in guinea pigs. [44],[45] These well-controlled experiments included conditions of: 1) high intensity noise alone (115 dB SPL, 10 hours), 2) 200 mg/kg/day neomycin with low intensity noise (45 dB SPL), and 3) neomycin with high intensity noise. Animals were exposed to neomycin and noise for seven consecutive days and then allowed to recover for 30 days. The average hearing threshold shifts across tested frequencies were 16 and 17 dB in conditions 1 and 2, respectively, while the shift was 62 dB in condition 3 instead of a linear summation of about 20 dB (17 ± 3 dB). The histological analysis on hair cell loss presented a very similar synergistic trend. While 17 and 26% outer hair cells (OHCs) were lost in conditions 1 and 2, respectively, in condition 3 the loss of OHCs was close to 100%.
Subdamaging doses of aminoglycosides can aggravate noise-induced cochlear damage. Collins [46] reported synergism between subdamaging doses of gentamicin and an intense 8-kHz pure tone. Gentamicin was administered at 50 mg/kg/day for 10 days and the tone was played at 116 dB SPL for 1 hour. The combination caused considerable hair cell loss that surpassed simple summation due to each insult alone.
This synergistic effect does not require simultaneous exposure to noise and aminoglycoside. Ryan and Bone investigated the effect of sequential exposure to noise and aminoglycoside, [47],[48] and reported prominent noise (2-octave wide, 100 dB SPL) potentiation two months later when kanamycin (150 mg/kg/day) was administered. Thus, noise-then-drug paradigm displayed apparent synergism, implying that high level noise exposure has long-term consequences on the physiological condition of the cochlea and its sensory cells. This is particularly relevant for military personnel in combat who subsequently undergo medical evacuation from the battlefield with concomitant prophylactic aminoglycoside treatment.
When kanamycin treatment is followed by noise one month later, no potentiation of hair cell loss or auditory function was observed [48] , confirming the original report by Gannon et al . [43] that synergism did not occur if the noise was introduced 30 days after the cessation of kanamycin treatment. However, synergism did occur if the noise was introduced within 20 days after the cessation of drug use. [42] Collins (1988) also reported mild drug-then-noise synergism with 10 days in between insults. Hair cell loss caused by combined insults was considerably reduced in the drug-then-noise paradigm compared to that of simultaneous drug-and-noise exposure. Aminoglycosides are cleared from cochlear tissues slowly (with a half life of many days), and cochlear cells may retain aminoglycosides for six months or longer. [49],[50] These observations suggest that synergy between noise and prior administration of aminoglycosides is dependent on the clearance of aminoglycosides from the cochlea.
More recently, sensitive distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) measurements have enabled the opportunity to noninvasively investigate frequency-specific cochlear damage. This measure reveals damage to cochlear function that may not be reflected by other methods, such as hair cell morphology or hearing threshold shifts. Tan et al . [51] reported that exposure to subdamaging dose of aminoglycoside antibiotics aggravates noise-induced cochlear damage, using DPOAE measurements with primary tones at 65 dB SPL and 55 dB SPL. In this study, 100 mg/kg/day amikacin was administered intramuscularly for 10 days caused no significant change in DPOAE amplitude. Exposure to only broadband noise at 105 dB SPL for 12 hours resulted in a temporary decrease of DPOAE amplitude for four days. However, when amikacin and broadband noise were presented together (exposed to noise only on day 0), the decreased DPOAE amplitude had not recovered 28 days later. This synergism between aminoglycosides and noise could only be observed by DPOAE measurements, but not by ABR measurements.
| Synergism in Newborns | | |
Many pediatricians considered aminoglycoside ototoxicity to be less prevalent in neonates than in adults. [52],[53] In 1981, Bernard demonstrated that preterm neonates exposed to aminoglycosides experienced hearing loss using ABR measurements. [54] In 2007, Rees confirmed that preterm infants (born <27 weeks) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) who received aminoglycosides seven days or more while exposed to noise levels produced by mechanical ventilation (>80 dBA for >30 minutes) had a high probability (68%) of developing hearing loss. [55] Although we did not find other experiments specifically designed to study noise-and-drug synergism in neonates, the above evidence suggests that synergism between aminoglycosides and noise occurs in infants.
| Potential Mechanisms for Synergistic Toxicity Induced by Noise and Aminoglycosides | | |
We have described different classes of synergistic toxicity between noise and aminoglycosides:
- Simultaneous exposure to noise and aminoglycosides.
- Subdamaging doses of aminoglycosides enhancing noise-induced hearing loss.
- Prior exposure to noise enhancing subsequent aminoglycoside toxicity.
However, it is also necessary to discuss how aminoglycosides are trafficked from the vasculature to cochlear hair cells and whether noise potentiates hair cell uptake of systemically-administered aminoglycosides. Accurate determination of their trafficking route as well as subsequent toxicity will lead to new and more effective strategies to prevent noise potentiation of aminoglycoside ototoxicity.
Trafficking of aminoglycosides to hair cells
All cells appear to take up aminoglycosides after systemic administration, and most clear the drug. However, kidney proximal tubule cells and cochlear sensory hair cells preferentially retain the drug after systemic administration. [56] Aminoglycosides are cationic, hydrophilic molecules that do not permeate lipid membranes easily. Aminoglycosides enter most cells via endocytosis in vivo or by permeating through nonselective cation channels. [17],[57] Indeed, aminoglycosides enter hair cells through both apical endocytosis and by permeating the mechanosensitive transduction channels at the tips of their stereocilia. [14],[58] This apical entry route implies that aminoglycosides enter in hair cells from the endolymphatic scala media [Figure 1]. Aminoglycosides could also potentially enter hair cells across their basolateral membranes from perilymph, by either endocytosis or ion channel permeation, although this has not been shown experimentally. [35]
Trafficking of the cationic, hydrophilic aminoglycosides across the blood-labyrinth barrier into the cochlear fluids during systemic administration has been poorly investigated thus far. Published studies have shown that, marginal cells in the stria vascularis are preferentially loaded with aminoglycosides. [59],[60],[61] This raises two possibilities: (a) marginal cells are sequestering aminoglycosides from endolymph (thus re-raising the question of how aminoglycosides traffic into endolymph), or (b) that systemically-administered aminoglycosides cross the strial blood-labyrinth barrier, and are trafficked into marginal cells [Figure 2]. In the latter case, aminoglycosides could be cleared from marginal cells directly into endolymph. [61],[62],[63]
Aminoglycosides are also present in perilymph. [49],[64],[65] Following systemic administration, aminoglycosides are presumably trafficked through vascular endothelial cells in the lateral wall, spiral limbus into the perilymphatic fluids. If aminoglycosides enter perilymph first, they could then leak across the perilymph-endolymph tight junction-coupled cells lining the scala media on Reissner's membrane and the basilar membrane. Regardless of how aminoglycosides enter endolymph, they must be trafficked against the electrical gradient, since endolymph has a +80 mV potential compared to perilymph. This positive endocochlear potential is due to the active transport of K + by the stria vascularis into endolymph to maintain the unique high extracellular potassium concentration (150 mM) that comprises the major depolarizing current into hair cells during sound stimulation. This suggests that active trafficking of aminoglycosides into endolymph occurs, although the mechanism remains unidentified.
If aminoglycosides use a trans-strial trafficking pathway to enter endolymph, what molecular mechanisms would enable such a pathway? From the strial capillary lumen, aminoglycosides would need to enter, and then clear, endothelial cells [Figure 2], as passive extravasation of aminoglycoside-laden plasma does not readily occur between adjacent endothelial cells that are also conjoined via tight junctions. [61],[66],[67] Once taken up by endothelial cells, aminoglycosides could also be cleared directly into the intrastrial space, or into the adjacent intermediate cells, mimicking the trafficking of K + ions through gap junctions. Aminoglycosides would then be cleared from intermediate cells into the intrastrial space, again mimicking K + trafficking. Alternatively, aminoglycosides could be trafficked by transcytosis (endocytotic transport across the cell) across the endothelial cell directly into the intrastrial space, as shown for other macromolecules. [67] Aminoglycosides are then transported by an unidentified (nonendocytotic) mechanism into marginal cells from the intrastrial space. [61] Since marginal cells possess an higher cell potential than endolymph, aminoglycosides could then passively flow down the electrochemical gradient into endolymph, for example, through nonselective cation channels, such as the aminoglycoside-permissive TRPV4 channel, on the lumenal surface of marginal cells. [15],[68] Having reached the positively-charged endolymph, electrorepulsive forces would electrophoretically drive the cationic aminoglycosides into the negatively-polarized hair cells, where these drugs then exert their cytotoxic effect, disrupting auditory function. This electrophoretic driving force could efficaciously concentrate aminoglycosides in OHCs since their mechanoelectrical transduction channels have an open probability of 0.5 at rest and during sound stimulation. [69],[70] This same electrophoretic driving force could drive aminoglycosides into the nonsensory cells lining the scala media. Since most cells clear aminoglycosides over time, these aminoglycosides could ultimately be cleared into the perilymphatic fluids across their basolateral membranes.
Simultaneous exposure to noise and aminoglycosides
Although there is substantial evidence for noise potentiation of aminoglycoside ototoxicity, the mechanisms by which this occurs remain elusive. A number of mechanisms have been proposed, and these may occur in combination rather than in a mutually exclusive manner.
High intensities of sound can disrupt the permeability of the strial blood-labyrinth barrier and induce a loss of the endocochlear potential, EP. [30],[31],[32] This could mimic the loss of EP by loop diuretics that results in rapid loading of the stria vascularis, and endolymph with aminoglycosides, and subsequently causing permanent damage to cochlear morphology and function. [65],[71],[72] Loop diuretic treatment alone only transiently affects auditory function by inhibiting the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter at the base olateral membrane of marginal cells in the stria vascularis, with a consequent drop in the EP. [73],[74] Once loop diuretic inhibition of the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter at the base of marginal cells is removed, the EP and auditory function is restored, potentially trapping aminoglycosides within the endolymphatic scala media. This would electrophoretically drive the trapped aminoglycosides into hair cells at concentrations sufficient to induce subsequent hair cell and organ of Corti degeneration.
Lower levels of sound stimulation can increase the EP along with acute, though mild, endolymphatic hydrops. [75] This is suggestive of enhanced trafficking of K + ions into endolymph (with water following to maintain osmolarity). This increased cellular activity may inadvertently increase the transstrial trafficking of aminoglycosides into endolymph. In addition, an increased EP will increase the electrophoretic driving force of endolymph, and aminoglycosides, into hair cells.
If aminoglycosides enter hair cells primarily from endolymph, then the open probability of the aminoglycoside-permissive mechanosensitive transduction channel in the hair cell stereocilia may play an important role. In OHCs, the mechanotransduction channel has an open probability of 0.5 during rest or sound stimulation. [69],[70] Thus, sound stimulation should not significantly increase aminoglycoside uptake into OHCs via the mechanoelectrical transduction channel. However, in inner hair cells, the open probability of the mechanosensitive transduction channel at rest is 0.1, and this increases to 0.5 during sound stimulation, [76],[77] potentially causing a significant increase in inner hair cell uptake of aminoglycosides and subsequent toxicity.
Although sound stimulation may not significantly increase aminoglycoside entry into OHCs via the mechanosensitive transduction channel, moderate or loud sound stimulation induces release of ATP from supporting cells which can activate P2X 2 channels at the apical membrane of OHCs, a potential shunt mechanism to protect OHCs from noise trauma by reducing the EP. [78],[79],[80] P2X 2 channels are permissive to large organic molecules, [81] and if also aminoglycoside-permissive, may inadvertently enable noxious aminoglycoside entry into OHCs during chronic sound stimulation or noise trauma.
The electrical potential difference across the apical membrane of hair cells is approximately 150 mV (+80 mV in endolymph and -70 mV hair cell receptor potential), the largest cross-membrane electrical potential in the mammalian body. The hair cell glycocalyx is also negatively charged. Thus, the cationic aminoglycosides would be electrostatically attracted to the apical surface of cochlear hair cells, facilitating endocytotic uptake. [35] Acoustic stimulation of hair cells also increases apical endocytosis [82] which could facilitate endocytotic uptake of aminoglycosides from endolymph.
After entering hair cells, aminoglycosides will likely aggravate the on-going cellular changes wrought by sound stimulation, or worse, noise trauma. This will include interaction with PIP 2 and other aminoglycoside-binding molecules, elevation of intracellular calcium and ROS, and the promotion of various cell death processes, overwhelming the nascent prosurvival, antioxidant defenses of the hair cell. [26],[34]
Of particular interest is the potential involvement of mitochondria. There are families highly susceptible to aminoglycoside toxicity due to a mutation in their mitochondrial DNA, [83],[84],[85] suggesting that aminoglycosides likely cross the mitochondrial membrane. Aminoglycosides are also implicated in the generation of ROS and the mitochondrial permeability transition pore that releases mitochondrial proapoptotic factors into the cytosol. [18],[86] Additionally, high levels of sound intensities also reduce the electrical potential of mitochondria (decreasing ATP production), increase the generation of ROS, and release mitochondrial proapoptotic factors into the cytosol that initiate active cell death processes. [87],[88] Determining the contributions of either insult to synergistic ototoxicity will remain elusive until a better understanding of the individual mechanisms of cytotoxicity due to either insult is achieved.
Aminoglycoside enhancement of noise-induced hearing loss
Subdamaging doses of aminoglycosides that enhance noise-induced hearing loss are likely to involve many elements of the above proposed mechanisms. Hair cell uptake of aminoglycosides may be enhanced by intense noise levels. Once inside the hair cell, aminoglycosides will induce toxicity mechanisms that will potentiate those described for noise-induced hearing loss. It is likely that the same mechanisms of toxicity are involved, just to different degrees depending on the level of exposure.
Prior noise exposure enhancement of aminoglycoside toxicity
Prior noise exposure potentiates the ototoxic effect of aminoglycosides given weeks later. [47],[48] This phenomenon does not occur in the opposite direction, i.e. , aminoglycoside potentiation of subsequent noise exposure. [47],[48] This suggests that noise exposure damages the antioxidant capacity of hair cells without initially diminishing auditory function. Alternatively, prior noise exposure may increase the expression of P2X 2 channels on the surface of OHCs as a protective measure against noise trauma. [89] P2X 2 channels are another class of nonselective cation channels that are permeable to FM1-43, and channels that are permeable to FM1-43 also tend to be aminoglycoside-permissive. Thus, when subsequent aminoglycoside treatment occurs, the increased expression of P2X 2 may inadvertently enhance hair cell uptake of aminoglycosides. This enhanced aminoglycoside sensitivity would exist for as long as P2X 2 channels remain upregulated on the OHC surface. Other unidentified mechanisms of prior noise exposure enhancing aminoglycoside toxicity may also exist.
| Preventing Synergistic Toxicity Induced by Noise and Aminoglycosides | | |
Preventing synergistic toxicity induced by noise and aminoglycosides is likely to involve a combination of aminoglycoside uptake inhibitors (once identified) working at the blood-labyrinth barrier to reduce cochlear uptake of aminoglycosides, combined with one or several antioxidants known to ameliorate either aminoglycoside or noise-induced hearing loss. [29],[90],[91],[92]
More immediately, it is important to remove sources of sound stimulation and toxic noise prior to and during critical, life-saving systemic aminoglycoside administration for treating bacterial sepsis, meningitis, and during prophylaxis. Since this is not possible in many cases ( e.g ., blast injuries), it is increasingly important to better understand how aminoglycosides cross the blood-labyrinth barrier to gain access to hair cells, and to elucidate the cytotoxic mechanisms they induce within hair cells that potentiate noise-induced changes within hair cells into cytotoxic phenomena.
