It’s possible that pain relievers damage the cochlea, the snail-shaped hearing mechanism in your inner ear. Studies like those I discuss above don’t prove that ibuprofen and acetaminophen cause hearing loss.
Sometimes I get letters from readers who ask why I mention studies that suggest, but don’t prove, that a particular practice may have health risks.

In the studies, women who took the pain relievers at least twice a week were more likely to have hearing loss. Other commonly used drugs that can cause hearing loss include certain antibiotics, diuretics, and drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction. Always try to take the lowest possible dose for the shortest amount of time to minimize the risk of side effects. My answer is that I generally don’t mention such studies unless I think they are particularly strong scientifically.

Longer courses of prescription drugs (high-dose ibuprofen) would seem to be more likely to lead to permanent changes in hearing.
