SM-Clinic audiologist Natalya Kichigina said that the cause of hearing loss or hearing loss may be ototoxic drug use. The expert told “Izvestia”.
He stated that hearing problems can occur both after viral diseases and as a result of treatment.
According to the doctor, the problems can manifest in different ways: increased sensitivity to everyday sounds, difficulty recognizing speech, tinnitus, partial or complete hearing loss.
Also, hearing loss can be the result of drug use or exposure to poison. More than 300 ototoxic drugs can also cause hearing impairment or loss.
The doctor noted that ototoxic drugs contain aminoglycoside antibiotics, they have a cumulative effect and are stored in the human nervous system.
Kichigina added that amphomycins, glycopeptide antibiotics, amphenicols, macrolides, loop diuretics and platinum-based antitumor drugs are among the drugs that are dangerous for hearing.
Formerly British audiologist Cathy Ogden warnedthat only an otolaryngologist can safely clean the ears, all home methods can be harmful to health and in some cases lead to irreversible consequences.
