You hear that antidepressants cause from tinnitis to hearing loss. Did you know that all classes of drugs can cause from loss of hearing to vertigo type problems. Interesting. Seems antibiotics head the list. Phillipa

I got my moderate hearing loss and tinnitus the good old-fashioned way, drumming in rock bands. A blaring monitor to my left and rim shots took their toll on my left ear especially.
Thankfully drummers are very careful these days to protect their hearing.
I have some weird auditory hallucinations sometimes. Sounds like there's a TV on in another room, very faint. I can tune it out for the most part. I've heard that tinnitus can cause it. Not sure.

I appreciate the link, but I wouldn't worry about it-- this is very rare.

It's also likely dose-dependent-- we know this is the case with opiates, and it was reported just shortly before Rush Limbaugh reported having hearing loss that OxyContin caused hearing loss. You have to take a lot, and most people don't get hearing loss.

Some information is useful, but some stuff just makes us worry. : )
