Abstract
Sensorineural hearing loss has not been known to be among the toxic effects of propoxyphene (sold under the trade name Darvon™ in the United States) overdosage. Recently a case was reported associated with moderate bilateral sensorineural hearing loss due to accidental overdosage of this drug. This paper presents a case of a progressive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss which resulted in total deafness, in a chronic propoxyphene abuser.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
