 Extensive complilation about ototoxics April 29, 2008
I think this book is a good compilation regarding ototoxic drugs, however I think something is missing, something very important. The incidence of ototoxic effects is not to profoundly annalized. Only very agressive drugs or chemicals are highly ototoxic at first contact, like cis-platin, but some others like the gentamicin, aspirin (ascetili salicilic acid) or other that are more frequently used in medical prescriptions not frequently are cause of ototoxic effects. In fact, the author show specific cases of ototoxicity that are "case report"in medical literature, of course these case reports are a good begining to be cautious with this drugs, but this "few cases" not are representative of all the patients that intake that specific drug that can be thousands, like those patients to intake aspirin for cardiac stroke prevention, very very few report ototoxic effects. Well, any way, I like the book, but can be improved I think.
 Excellent resource January 21, 2008

This is an excellent resource for patients and physicians, and especially for anyone whose already has hearing loss or ringing ears. There are many, many drugs that can cause hearing problems. This book lists and rates them, so you'll know which ones to avoid and which ones might be okay. I have used this book many times to avoid making my tinnitus worse, and I wouldn't be without it.
