Can Diuretics Cause Or Worsen Hearing Loss? - Everyday Hearing Help

Can Diuretics Cause Or Worsen Hearing Loss? Are you curious about how certain medications might impact your hearing health? In this informative video, we'll explore the relationship between diuretics and hearing loss. We'll start by explaining what diuretics are and their common uses in managing conditions like high blood pressure. Next, we’ll discuss how some types of diuretics, particularly loop diuretics such as furosemide (often called Lasix), can affect the inner ear, potentially leading to temporary or, rarely, permanent hearing issues. We’ll also cover factors that can increase the risk, including high doses, intravenous use, or combining these medications with other ear-toxic drugs.

Additionally, we’ll clarify that not all diuretics pose the same risk; for example, thiazide diuretics are generally considered safe for hearing health. We’ll emphasize the importance of consulting your healthcare provider if you have existing hearing or balance problems, especially before starting a new medication. Regular hearing checks may be recommended for those on high-dose or long-term diuretics.
