Hearing Loss Metoprolol

Loss hearing in my right ear after taking Metoprolol Tarta 50 mg. Woke up in the morning and couldn't hear out of my right ear at all and still can't hear out of it. I have an appointment with a ENT doctor day after tomorrow. Has anybody else had this problem and know what can be done for it? It's driving me bonkers. Thanks, Nora

REPORT

How long were you taking it?

Learn more Metoprolol details here.

It's not a side effect commonly caused by this medication.

It's also possible that it's due to a blockage, water in the ear, or an infection.

Can you post back and let me know what the ENT says?

I only took Metoprolol a few days. I take other medications too. I go to the ENT doctor today so I will see what he says. My B/P is hard to control even with medication so it could be from it being so high for so long. I don't remember getting water in my ear and I could hear out of my right ear when i went ot bed and when I woke up couldn't hear out of it. Will post after I see the doctor today.

My wife also lost the hearing in her right ear shortly after starting metroprolo. I suspected a possible. Connection from the bo mends but was not given any consideration on my suspicions and after her hearing was tested they attributed it to a virus coming in females over 50 but was also told that that virus usely caused loss of hearing in both ears. Now several years later her hair is rapidly starting to fall out. While I have no imperiacal evidence to support this at the noment I believe this. Connected to the motroprolo and am researching it in hopes of finding a viable safe alternative she can take to save her hair.comments or suggestions appreciated. Thanks.....Ps she was treated for heart failure and high blood pressure several years ago and takes 50mgs motroprolo twice a day for it.

I have been taking Metoprolol for a couple of years (25 mg/twice a day). 18 months ago. I woke up and couldn't hear out of my left ear. I have never regained hearing in that ear. No cause was ever identified. Lately, I have had a couple of incidents where my hearing in the right ear seemed to be getting worse. I never lost hearing completely but the symptoms reminded me of the days after losing hearing in the left ear. Has anyone learned more about a possible connection between Metoprolol and hearing loss?

My hearing loss came on suddenly. My ENT said I had high frequency hearing loss in my left ear. It started out as a loud ringing and he prescribed Lipoflavanoid. It didn't work. I kept trying to figure out what may have caused it. I had an MRI done several months ago and thought it might have been the noise from that but I dismissed that idea. I suddenly remembered that the doctor had prescribed Metoprolol a beta blocker and I truly think that is what caused my tinnitis after I read that other people had taken them. I also read that one of the side effects of that drug was hearing loss. I just hope it is not permanant. At this point I don't know what to do.

I too have been on Metoprolol for years and last week -my hearing in my left ear is greatly diminished. I immediately went to a Neurotologist Dr Gordon on Long Island New York and he gave me 1 week of Predisitone- will follow up with him - but no change in my left ear after nearly 1 week of steroid. Is there anything else I could do - to try to help the hearing in my left ear ???? I too feel a fullness in my "good" right ear and pray that my right ear stays healthy. thank you. Are You doing better?

Yes I received 2 doses in the Geisinger ER.
Within 1 hour after leaving the hospital I lost 100% of my hearing in my right ear and 50% in my left ear.
It then took me 2 years and a subpoena to find out what I was injected with.
Hoping for a cure
