匹兹堡大学研究人员的一项研究发现，锌的失调在小鼠噪音性听力损失（NIHL）中发挥着重要作用。 A study by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh has discovered that dysregulation of zinc plays a role in noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in mice. 他们开发了一种“锌陷阱”化合物，当小鼠暴露在大声的声音中时，可以通过限制过量游离锌的释放来预防这种类型的听力损失。 They developed a "zinc trap" compound that can prevent this type of hearing loss by limiting the release of excess free zinc when mice are exposed to loud sounds. 研究人员认为预防是关键，并鼓励人们在嘈杂的环境中佩戴耳塞。 The researchers suggest prevention is key and encourage people to wear earplugs in loud environments. 他们现在正在开发一种用于临床前安全性研究的治疗方法，目标是创造一种非处方药来预防听力损失。 They are now developing a treatment for preclinical safety studies with the goal of creating an over-the-counter medication to protect against hearing loss.
