Signs and symptoms of ototoxicity include tinnitus, hearing loss, dizziness and nausea and/or vomiting. [3] The diagnosis of medicine-induced ototoxicity is challenging as it usually shows only mild symptoms in early stages. Thus, prospective ototoxicity monitoring would be required when patients are using ototoxic medications. [1]
Ototoxicity is the property of being toxic to the ear (oto-), specifically the cochlea or auditory nerve and sometimes the vestibular system, for example, as a side effect of a drug. The effects of ototoxicity can be reversible and temporary, or irreversible and permanent. It has been recognized since the 19th century. [1]

Furosemide is a known ototoxic agent generally causing transient hearing loss but can be permanent. Reported cases of furosemide-induced hearing loss appeared to be associated with rapid intravenous administration, high dosages, concomitant renal disease, and coadministration with other ototoxic medication.
[1] [4] Complications can include swelling of the brain or lungs, seizures, low blood sugar, or cardiac arrest. [1] While usually due to aspirin, other possible causes include oil of wintergreen and bismuth subsalicylate. [2] Excess doses can be either on purpose or accidental.
