Certain types of antibiotics can cause deafness that cannot be cured. About this on the air of the TV channel “Russia 1” said the chief physician of the city hospital №71, TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov.
According to him, antibiotics are still used, the use of which causes irreversible deafness. “This is a drug from the group of aminoglycosides” Gentamicin “and a number of other drugs. They are ototoxic, that is, they are deaf, like a shot over the ear,” the doctor said. These drugs act on the auditory receptors, making them smaller. Therefore, antibiotics cannot be taken without a doctor’s prescription.
Diuretics such as Furosemide can also affect hearing. They act on the auditory nerve. Also, diuretics strongly affect the cardiovascular system, they can cause angina pectoris. Antifungal drugs can also cause changes in the auricle.
