Potentially Ototoxic Drugs

           Antibiotics
               Aminoglycosides - may produce  
                                            cochleotoxicity
               Gentamicin
               Tobramycin
               Macrolides - produces reversible ototoxic     
                            effects in patients with kidney or
                            liver damage
               Erythromycin
              
            Loop Diuretics - high doses can be ototoxic
               Furosemide
               Etharcrynic
               Bumetanide

           Chemotherapeutic agents - can cause high
                                            frequency hearing loss
                    Platinum containing agents
                            Cisplatin
                            Carboplatin
                            Oxaliplatin

           Heavy Metals
               Mercury
               Lead

          High Doses of Aspirin - can cause high
                                      pitched hearing loss
