The authors investigated the effect of varying doses of ibuprofen upon the hearing of guinea pigs monitored with brain stem-evoked response procedures. In daily dosages comparable on a weight basis to therapeutic levels in humans, ibuprofen was found not to have significant effects on response threshold or latency characteristics.
