"Lorcet -- which, like Vicodin, is a mixture of hydrocodone and acetaminophen -- has been linked to sudden and profound hearing loss in patients who misuse or abuse the drug. First in 1999 and then more forcefully in the summer of 2001, physicians at the House Ear Clinic in Los Angeles warned doctors and consumers of a "possible correlation between permanent hearing loss" and hydrocodone-acetaminophen combinations such as Lorcet and Vicodin. The Los Angeles Times reported in September 2001 that doctors at House and other Southern California medical facilities had identified 48 patients who suffered hearing loss after taking exceptionally high doses of the drugs."

Sure sounds like it did? Thoughts?

Of course OVERUSING that drug had to cause his hearing loss! Anyone who can't see the "cause and effect" on that one is either clearly trying to "protect" Rush or they are naive beyond belief!

I'm suprised, you seem so young and naive to be an M.D.
When did you examine Limbaugh?

Clearly allydriver has been "snowed in" in Chicago for too long. LOL

50 pills a day! Amazing that he lost only his hearing and not his life at that time!
