Medications
There are more than 200 medications that are known to damage hearing on the market today. Before you start throwing out your entire medicine cabinet, know that most of these drugs are only used to treat severe, life-threatening conditions like cancer and aggressive infection. However, many medications may cause dizziness, and high doses of aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen can also cause ringing in your ears (tinnitus) and hearing loss.
