Drugs that cause hearing loss

Drugs that cause hearing loss

I take, and have taken for some time Oxycodone / apap 10 mg/325 mg X 4 daily.  Also, Oxycodone 20 mg cr X 3 daily.  Sometimes, if having a bad day, I may take 1 additional dose.  Also, if having a good day, I may not take as many. This is under the care of a pain management doctor and I would hope that he would not give me enough to cause damage, but it never hurts to get another opinion.

My Question:  Can this cause hearing loss?.I have noticed recently that I don't hear as well.  I am 65 years old and I realize that some degree of hearing loss can come with age.  I also have heard that certain drugs can cause permanent damage with resulting hearing loss.

Thank you for any help that you can provide.
