The subjects were randomized and allocated in two groups: Control Group(CG) and Study Group(SG). the study group received GBE761(120mg twice a day) plus cisplatin and was guided to ingest GBE761 just before initial cisplatin dosage. The maximum cumulative cisplatin dosage was 300mg/m². They were followed up for ninety days. Comparisons were made between baseline distortion-product otoacoustic emissions measurements and those DPOAE records after maximum cumulative cisplatin dosage.
