Sorry to read about the hearing loss problem Yes, some antibiotics can damage the workings of the inner ear due to free radical production, and ALA is a potent antioxidant. The reports about ALA helping this type of hearing loss were based on the ALA being taken at the same time with the antibiotic though; not sure how effective it will be to take after the damage has already been done? .. There's a little more information here .. Lipoic Acid Protects Hearing Function.
