Men who regularly take aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) more than twice a week may be at increased risk for hearing loss, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Medicine and highlighted by the L.A. Times‘ health blog. The research included nearly 27,000 men between ages 40 to 74 at the beginning of the study period, in 1986, who completed questionnaires about their hearing every two years. Researchers found that, independently, each analgesic included in the study was associated with some level of increased risk of hearing loss.
