- Title
Deafness Associated with Acetaminophen and Codeine Abuse.
- Authors
Blakley, Brian W.; Schilling, Heather
- Abstract
Ototoxicity associated with narcotic-acetaminophen combinations is not widely recognized. This can be the cause of severe-to-profound hearing loss that may be overlooked. Otolaryngologists who encounter patients with progressive hearing loss with no apparent cause should specifically ask about overuse of medications containing acetaminophen and a narcotic. Many patients feel that this form of medication is "safe" because it can be purchased over-the-counter.
