Tylenol, Ibuprofen and Aspirin are Responsible for Hearing Loss

This study looked at men. Tylenol usage at twice a week caused TWICE the risk of hearing loss as people that took no medications. Ibuprofen (motrin, advil, etc) was the next highest at almost 2/3 greater risk and aspirin increased the risk by a third. I bring this up because we have this notion in our country that taking OTC pain killers and anti-inflammatories is entirely safe. We feel we can give our kids Tylenol without any side effects. The truth is: all these products are chemicals and, if used over and over, will generate some adverse reactions. http://amplify.com/u/288r
