Regular Analgesic Use May Increase Risk for Hearing Loss “Regular use of aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or acetaminophen may increase the risk for hearing loss in men, and the impact is larger on those younger than 60 years, according to a prospective study published in the March issue of the American Journal of Medicine. "Aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen are the 3 most commonly used drugs in the US," write Sharon G. Curhan, MD, ScM, from Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, and colleagues. "Given that analgesic use might result in pathophysiologic changes in the cochlea and that regular use of these analgesics is so common, the relation of these medications and hearing loss might be an important public health issue." However, Curhan and colleagues point out several study limitations that may affect the results of their study. Two independent commentators interviewed by Medscape Family Medicine reiterate these limitations and emphasize that causality cannot be determined from the study results. Yet, both agree that the study focuses on an important issue.”
