No one ever tolde me taking Hydrocodone might injure my hearing. I am almost 78 years old and have enough hearing loss to warrant wearing aids in each ear. From time to time I have taken prescription Hydrocodone.

Thank you for drawing some attention to the problem of hearing loss.I wish people would take hearing health seriously. I want to maintain my health through aerobic exercise at my local Y, but I sometimes have to leave classes because the music is so loud. I've provided management and class instructors with guidelines for safe decibel levels and exposure time but fell I'm dismissed as an old curmudgeon. Hey, if was in a smoke filled bar or disco, I'd figure dangerously loud music was part of the bargain, but not when I'm paying to be a member of an organization allegedly dedicated to health!
