Risk of sensorineural hearing loss with macrolide antibiotics: A nested case ‐control study

ConclusionA significant association between SNHL and macrolide use was likely due to confounding by indication for antibiotic treatment because the risk was also observed with fluoroquinolones and amoxicillin, antibiotics with no known ototoxic potential. Therefore, there does not appear to be an increased risk of SNHL in patients treated with macrolide antibiotics. Level of Evidence3b. Laryngoscope, 2016
