Did you know some medications can affect your hearing? These are called ototoxic medications, and they may cause hearing loss, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), or balance issues in some people.
Common examples can include certain antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, and even high doses of over-the-counter pain relievers.
What you can do:
• Always take medications as prescribed
• Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about potential side effects
• Report any changes in hearing or balance right away
• Schedule a hearing evaluation
Your hearing health matter! Stay informed, proactive, and get checked! 💙
