Medications That Can Cause Hearing Loss

Ototoxicity is the term used for damage to the inner ear from taking certain prescription and non-prescription medications. “Ototoxicity” literally translates as “ear poisoning.” Some medications can damage the sensory cells located inside the inner ear that control balance and hearing. There are over 200 drugs that are considered ototoxic, and some of them are essential medications, including several used to treat cancer. Not all people who take ototoxic drugs will experience symptoms. Whether to take an ototoxic drug is a matter of weighing the benefits of the drug with the potential risks. Some risk factors include the type of medication, the dose level, how long the drug is taken, and other ototoxic drugs a person may already be taking. 

 We bring you this column about better hearing in order to provide our Gahanna readers with information that we hope they will find interesting and helpful regarding their hearing healthcare. Whether you  already wear hearing instruments  or perhaps feel you may have an impairment and wish to explore your options,  it’s all about YOUR hearing

P.S. Ototoxic drugs can cause permanent damage in the inner ear and may lead to long-term problems with hearing and balance
