- Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (Safety) [ Time Frame: Reported or observed during or after dosing (Day 1) up to the end of study (Day 85 - 12 weeks after dosing) ]An adverse event (AE) is any unfavorable and unintended diagnosis, symptom, sign, syndrome or disease which occurs during the study, having been absent at baseline, or if present at baseline, appears to worsen.
- Otoscopic Examinations (Safety) [ Time Frame: After dosing (Day 1) up to end of study (Day 85 - 12 weeks after dosing) ]Clinically significant change form Baseline
- Audiometry (Safety) [ Time Frame: After dosing (Day 1) up to end of study (Day 85 - 12 weeks after dosing) ]Clinically significant change from Baseline
- Speech-in-noise Hearing Tests [ Time Frame: Screening, Baseline, 2 weeks (dependent on dose group), 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after dosing ]Ability to hear over noise
- Electrophysiological Endpoint (dependent on dose group) [ Time Frame: At Screening, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after dosing ]Electrophysiological test of auditory brainstem response to auditory stimuli
- Patient Global Impression of Change [ Time Frame: At 2 weeks (dependent on dose group), 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after dosing ]Change in overall hearing status, ranging from very much worse (-3) to very much improved (+3)
