Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Certain medications can have ototoxic effects, meaning they can damage the ear and lead to hearing problems. Diuretics, some antibiotics (especially aminoglycosides), chemotherapy agents (such as cisplatin), and NSAIDs have been associated with hearing loss or other auditory dysfunctions. Vasodilators are not commonly associated with hearing problems, making them the incorrect choice in this context.
