This study indicated that the liraglutide mitigated the blast-induced auditory injuries. In EP ears, the pre-blast administration of liraglutide reduced the severity of blast-induced acute damage in ears with EP protection, especially under G2. In animals with open ears, the effect of liraglutide on the restoration of hearing increased with time. The liraglutide potentially benefits post-blast hearing through multiple approaches with different mechanics.
