Like noises starting to sound far away or muffled? Is it all in my head?
propose that this hearing loss is mediated by vasoconstriction and cochlear ischemia via opioid-mediated stimulation of the vasoconstrictor endothelin-1
Yes I absolutely get strange hearing changes. I have particularly experienced it when taking percocets. This one time I took 20 or so perc 5/325's and as i sat in my car, i would hear a faint/dull ringing in my ears and it would linger for a few minutes and i would not be able to hear, but then it comes back. I have heard that excessive opioid abuse can damage hearing and/or cause auditory changes. Hope this helps.
