MATERIALS and METHODS: A total of 24 Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into three groups: group 1 received intraperitoneal (IP) saline + intratympanic (IT) saline as a control group for 4 days (n=8), group 2 received IP cisplatin (20 mg/kg) + IT saline (0.1-0.3 mL) for 4 days (n=8), and group 3 received IP cisplatin (20 mg/kg) + IT α-LA (25 mg/mL) for 4 days (n=8). DPOAEs were performed prior to the procedure and at the end of the experiment on day 5.
