1st clinical trial in acute traumatic
deafness. A clinical trial was performed in Munich,
on December 31, 2005, to treat the patients with an acute
acoustic trauma (shootings of fireworks, discotheques). The
patients received a trans-tympanic application of a new active
product, which was conceived and tested by the team of Pr
Jean-Luc Puel (team 02) of the INM. The team showed that this
product allows a better recovery after the trauma and that
it protects from the auditory loss. The trial was conducted
by Auris Medical, a company whose goal is to develop new drugs
for the auditory deficits.
