I was curious -
[The hearing loss associated with Vicodin abuse in our patients was variable in presentation. Typically, patients reported bilateral, progressive loss, with a rapid course (days to weeks) toward the end in those patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss.]

lost hearing from taking Vicodin - Google Search

Jomar,

Thank you for sharing this link. I read several articles about it. I have never heard of this before. As you stated, the results were variable. I also read that it happened in people who took 40 plus pills a day. That is crazy!! I don't know how anyone can function taking that many pills in 1 day. In those cases taking 40+ hydrocodone pills in 1 day are clearly addicts. Not everyone who is prescribed this medication anuses it by taking way more than what is prescribed. The link is very informative. Thank you again for sharing1

Best wishes,

The person in my life with profound hearing loss did not take 40 pills daily but too enough for too long....she got addicted...the House Clinic here in L.A. where she ended up with Cochlear Implant said about 50% hearing loss cases are from vicodin etc.

Caroline,

I'm sorry to hear about your loved one becoming addicted and losing her hearing. I don't take Vicodin. I also read you can lose your hearing taking, tylenol and ibuprofen too. It may not have been the Vicodin but the acetaminophen that caused it. Everyones body is different and responds differently. I don't know what your definition of toi much meds, or being addicted. I get the feeling our definition is completely different from each other. There usn't anything that can fix my back. Even with surgery the chances of it getting fixed are very slim. That is if I can find a doctor who is willing to operate. I haven't found a surgeon tet who will operate.
Medications do not effect me the same way as it does majority of the population because I had brain surgery.

Diamond Tiger, pharma meds are just not my way to do healing, but I do take a few lower dose meds, and 99% supplements. I seek out more natural to my body than the lab produced drugs. That is the major difference with me overall. My dear person will do all in her power to steer clear of pharma drugs, she's paid.

We all have our mindsets and what is right for us. This is truth for each.

THere are high numbers of addictions out there.
