Which Medications are Commonly Associated with Ototoxicity in Children?
Several medications have been identified as ototoxic. Among the most well-known are aminoglycoside antibiotics (such as gentamicin and tobramycin), loop diuretics (like furosemide), and certain chemotherapeutic agents (such as cisplatin). These drugs are often essential for treating severe infections or malignancies but come with the risk of hearing damage.
