It shouldn’t be surprising that many
commonly prescribed
medications are potentially
hazardous to the ears

As an audiologist, my concern is with the possible increase in hearing
and/or balance disturbances that these medications can cause

More than 300 (of nearly700) of the side effects listed in the Physician's Desk
Reference (PDR) can influence hearing and/or balance function

Medications that affect the amount of
fluid in your body can also wreak
havoc.

The fluid-filled hearing and balance structures of the inner ear normally function independently of the body's
overall fluid/blood system

If a medication changes the volume or composition of the body’s fluid or
blood supply, the amount of endolymph in the inner ear system
may fluctuate as well

This fluctuation is thought to cause the symptoms of endolymphatic
hydrops or Meniere's disease, which causes pressure or fullness in the
ears, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), hearing loss, dizziness and imbalance
