Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the second leading cause of hearing loss worldwide, and the most common cause in young adults. Despite this burden, the molecular mechanisms by which noise causes damage are poorly understood, and there are no pharmacologic therapies to prevent or reduce noise-induced damage to the inner ear. Here, using targeted and untargeted lipidomics, we show that noise exposure induces changes in fatty acid (FA) and acylcarnitine (CAR) species in the inner ear, a metabolic profile indicative of noise-induced increases in {beta}- oxidation. This conclusion is validated through treatment with Etomoxir, an inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A, the rate-limiting enzyme of long-chain {beta}-oxidation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that blocking {beta}-oxidation with Etomoxir does not affect hearing in a normal acoustic environment but reduces the extent of hearing loss induced by an intense noise exposure (2 hours, 112 dB SPL, 8-16kHz). Together, our findings provide insights into cochlear energy metabolism and suggest that its modulation could be targeted to reduce NIHL.
