Sodium salicylate when taken in large quantities causes temporary hearing loss and tinnitus. Prolonged treatment with sodium salicylate reduces output from cochlea permanently, reduces compound action potential amplitude in vivo and neural degeneration in vitro.Sodium salicylate treatment in lateral amygdala alters tonography and excitability, causing hyperactivity in auditory cortex. Sodium salicylate impairs the expression of cellular-Finkel?Biskis?Jinkins murine osteogenic sarcoma virus (c-fos) and δ-FosB proteins in hippocampus region and affects spatial memory and learning. Sodium salicylate affects neurogenesis in dentate gyrus region of the brain.An NF kappa B inhibitor and reducer of oxidative stress
