Alphabetical list of the drugs studied in the metabolomic analyses based on their reported efficacy on different types of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in mammals. Drugs marked with * were studied for different indications, and therefore listed more than once. NIHL = noise induced hearing loss, ABR = Auditory Brainstem Response, AP= Artificial Perilymph, ASSR= Auditory Steady State Responses, CAP= Compound Action Potential, DPOAE= Distortion Product OtoAcoustic Emissions, IHC= Inner Hair Cells, OHC= Outer Hair Cells, PTA= Pure Tone Average, PTS= Permanent Threshold Shift, SGN=Spiral Ganglion Neurons, TTS= Temporary Threshold Shift, TS = Threshold Shift (the authors used this if they did not follow animals for 2-4 weeks to determine if the TS was permanent or temporary).
