The clinical manifestations of ototoxicity are: Sensorial or neurosensory hearing loss, vertigo and tinnitus. The purpose of this article is to offer the reader a scientific and informative vision. Objective: To review the scientific evidence that is found on the characteristics of auditory and vestibular function of adults who consume ototoxic drugs.
