Welcome back to our April "Wellness Wednesday" series!

Did you know that in the U.S., over 100 classes of drugs commonly used to treat pain, infections, cancer, heart, or kidney disease can actually damage your inner ear?
When we take necessary medications to heal one part of our body, our ears sometimes bear the burden. This is why our audiology team has teamed up with Dr. Umez at Gattis Pharmacy. Through Gattis Pharmacy’s personalized Medication Therapy Management (MTM) consultations, Dr. Umez can review your prescriptions for ototoxic risks before damage occurs.

If you are starting a new medication, always ask: "Could this affect my hearing?"

Happy "Wellness Wednesday"! 🌟 Did you know that April is Ototoxicity Awareness Month?
If you take daily prescriptions, making smart medical choices is essential for your sensory health. But what exactly is "ototoxicity"? It literally translates to "Oto = Ear" and "Toxic = Poison"
It refers to the way certain medications can cause ringing in the ears (tinnitus), dizziness, or even hearing loss Throughout this month, we are partnering with Dr. Umez at Gattis Pharmacy in the Hutto Medical Plaza to help you protect your hearing from medication-induced damage.

Stay tuned every Wednesday this month to learn more, and remember to always review your medications with your pharmacist! 💊👂
