Özet

OBJECTIVE: Sulfites are commonly used as preservatives in the foods and pharmaceutical products. Despite their worldwide use, increasing evidence suggests their toxicity on several organs and tissues. Yet, we do not know whether sulfites have toxic effects on the auditory system (tract). Therefore, we aimed to investigate the probable hazardous effects of sulfite on hearing function of rats.
