I am developing hearing loss, and my eyes are mote than ever sensitive to light. Unfortunately my ability to smell has not decreased; it is my superpower. Go me! I have been treating the hearing loss to taking narcotics 2x/week. I never associared it with Cymbalta, Topamax, gabapentin, etc.

Narcotics do nothing to relieve hearing loss. Rather, in excessive amounts, it can cause hearing loss. Case in point: Rush Limbaugh was an opiod addict, getting pills in the name of his housekeeper and others. He is in recovery, but he now wears 2 hearing aids. He got a sweet deal from law enforcement. I use narcotics twice per week, in tiny amounts. Any hearing loss I have is age-related, or listening to too much loud rock mudic in the 70s and 80s.
OK, I understand now. Thanks.

Hi Again, @lauriedr. I mentioned possible hearing loss in a previous post. I'm curious, though, about how narcotics relieve hearing loss.
I wish doctors would pay more attention to patients' reports of side effects. Mine pulls out a book, and doesn't see that side effect listed, and doesn't always take me seriously.
